The continual references to “with the benefit of hindsight” are simply not going to wash.

There are far too many of us who know EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED & tragically STILL IS.

1/19…sorry!

Mr Johnson may feel a degree of safety hidden away from scrutiny on holiday, but there are literally 1000s of us who’ve been begging for a pragmatic, intelligent & compassionate response to #COVID19UK - we will not go quietly!

There’s only so much insensitive, offensive & ignorant bluster we will tolerate…HONESTY & ACCOUNTABILITY are needed now.

The buck stops at the doors of @10DowningStreet, or maybe a luxury villa in #Marbella🤔?

NONE of this happened by accident!

Every single twist & turn of this silent carnage was the result of a poor decision.

Each poor decision fuelled by greed, arrogance, ambition & a callous disregard for the lives of others, particularly those who were already vulnerable.

ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

This govt don’t have our best interests at heart & they certainly don’t care about the unnecessary, avoidable suffering they’ve caused.
Ignore the “following the science” b*ll*cks, if “the science” was so wrong they could’ve looked elsewhere!

The details of what lead to the UK’s poor performance on almost every outcome measure other than the vaccine rollout are vital & need to be fully exposed.

& for the 1000s of bereaved families or those w/ #LongCovid an attempt at humility from govt would make a difference.

But right now as the PM decides how much 🍾to have with lunch, UNVACCINATED BRITISH CHILDREN, especially those who’re CV/CEV, are being unnecessarily exposed to #COVID19 on a daily basis in schools with ZERO MITIGATIONS.

THIS IS NOT OK!

You may be surprised to hear that many HCWs in #COVID facing roles are STILL wearing inadequate #PPE to protect them effectively from an #airborne virus.

YES WE ARE!

#COVIDisAirborne - @10DowningStreet @NHSEngland & @UKHSA need to acknowledge this & act fast to protect us.

The removal of most mitigations in🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has left CV/CEV adults/children living in fear.
Making 😷use “a choice” in indoor settings has left them WITHOUT CHOICE-they must hideaway or run the daily gauntlet of serious illness/death….Shocking!

So if this report is to result in anything positive WE MUST CHANGE COURSE IMMEDIATELY!

If we don’t seize this opportunity to reflect & do things differently as we head into autumn/winter, & the #NHS is imploding, many more ppl will suffer unnecessarily.

What can we do…

1 - Make the spreading of #COVIDDisinformation an offence.
2 - Reinstate the 😷mandate for secondary schools & make 😷s advisory in primaries TOMORROW -Wearing a 😷 is a small inconvenience for the majority of us during a pandemic.

@NAHTnews @NeilDotObrien

3 - Revert to a “isolation for contacts of positive cases” policy in schools.
4 - Accelerate the vaccination programme of 12-15 yr olds & push for vaccination of 6-11yr olds.

5 - URGENTLY invest in improved ventilation in schools & workplaces, explaining that THE RISK IS IN THE AIR!

6 - UPDATE ppl on the true range of symptoms that can arise with the #DeltaVariant in both adults & children AND alter the criteria for a #PCR test accordingly.
14/

7 - UPGRADE 😷s worn by HCWx working with known or suspected #COVID cases.Failure to have done this after 18/12 is truly remarkable!
How quick did those 👏s turn to a “we don’t care whether you live or die as long as you do your job”attitude?

@TheBMA @CNagpaul @EveryDoctorUK

6 - Reinstate the 😷mandate for shops, some indoor settings & transport, just as in other parts of🇬🇧- REMOVE CHOICE from decision making.

HCWs #WearAMask for hrs every day - if we can, you should!

#CovidIsNotOver - Get over it!

@UKHSA @GOVUK @sajidjavid @DHSCgovuk

7 - Listen the countless scientific/public health experts & many ordinary clinicians who’ve been questioning “the plan”, following/challenging the stats, treating/caring for those affected & pushing for a wiser, less brutal strategy.

@dgurdasani1 @chrischirp @IndependentSage
17/

8 - @conservatives must drop the #LivingWithCovid nonsense, admit their “one trick vaccine pony” is scientifically illiterate & irresponsible & advise the public appropriately & safely, just as is happening in many other similar countries.

LOOK OUTSIDE THE UK!

Finally, they must acknowledge the unacceptable abuse towards #NHS staff, in particular those working in primary care, ADMIT that THE #NHS IS OVERWHELMED NOW, SUPPORT the staff trying desperately to save it & call on the #Tory press to STOP the relentless insults.

PLEASE 🙏🏻💙
