A year on we have lost over 129,000 of our loved ones to #COVID19. Most of these deaths could have been avoided if we’d had competent Government. Japan (whose population is around double ours) lost around 9000 and Taiwan *just 10 people* TEN PEOPLE
A year on we have done relatively well on vaccine rollout, thanks to remarkable international science and the structure and culture of our NHS - THANK YOU to NHS staff and scientists
But a year on, this pandemic isn’t over. We need an independent public inquiry into the government’s response so we can learn the many lessons in time to act on them now as well as to prepare for next time. Further delay is wrong and could cost yet more lives
We have lost so many people, often in extremely distressing circumstances - for them, their families and the staff trying to care for them. Their loss - and the trauma we’ve all been through - must not be in vain. We must and can do much better.
