“Look into my eyes, Prime Minister, & tell me why - a year after #COVID19 hit the UK - the govt have failed to produce clear, powerful public guidance”...like this, from March 2020👇
A lot of people are still wearing their masks incorrectly because there’s been no guidance!

For the first 4 months, UK & US govts insisted we didn’t need face masks, despite the evidence to the contrary
Then - on the same day in both countries - masks became mandatory
And yet there’ s been no basic public info about how even to wear a mask.

Experts knew #COVID19 transmission was airborne - via droplet or aerosol - so why did the UK & US govts reject masks?

120 countries recognised mandatory face masks reduced #COVID transmission
The UK & US govts spent 4 months telling the public that masked made no difference then introduced mandatory masks on the same day
Mark shortages = relevant only for the 1st month.

Parallels btw UK & US #COVID responses are striking
Both delayed lockdown & were slow with testing, tracing, PPE, etc
In September, #Trump all but admitted that US strategy was herd immunity (he called it ‘herd mentality’)
Was the UK following a similar strategy & timetable?
