The truth is when I walked into that Covid ICU for the first time in full PPE with Respirator to be with my wife as she died. I took my respirator off anyway and kissed my beautiful wife Katie goodbye for the very last time. #KatiePersinger #CovidInquiryNow #WalkTheWall
When I’d finished watching Katie pass away from Covid-19 and left the ICU. I walked the 4.5 miles home so I didn’t give anyone else Covid-19. I was terrified of infecting anyone. I knew what I had done and understood the risks of Covid-19.
As I walked home I felt a knot buildup in my chest the rest of me felt numb and all I could think of was my son. How do I tell our son his mother is dead? I didn’t want to do it over the phone I’d have to do it in person. How would I do it with love and compassion?
That was the day everything changed for me and my son our family. The knot in my chest still remains. I got home and knocked my sons bedroom door and went into my sons room. It turns our the eyes really are the windows to the soul. He knew what I was going to say before I spoke.
Both my Mother & Katie opened their eyes when I spoke and was allowed to visit in those final hours. But to be honest. I don’t know if Katie or my mother knew I was with them while they died because both were so heavily sedated.
I just hope my lovely mother and wife didn’t think I had abandoned them. 😢

WTF🤬; 9 Billion pounds in PPE has been written of by the uk government during the pandemic. #PPE 😷#KatiePersinger #CovidInquiryNow #WalkTheWall
That was money our desperately unprepared pandemic response & healthcare systems could have used!
The very thing that could have saved peoples lives. ❤️‍🩹

This is a picture of my wife Katie & our cat Ozzy. Katie was working 12+ hour shifts in the carehome during a lethal pandemic. Katie was coming home & trying to social distance from family and lockdown. Only to rinse & repeat until she caught Covid-19 and died.💛 #KatiePersinger
You can see Katie looked tired in this photo. It was taken while the carehome was being ravaged by Covid-19.
I can honestly say I don’t know anyone who fought harder to try and save others than Katie.

Us & them: If enough of us say NO and act accordingly. The answer becomes NO! That’s how our relationship with the government should work. We should decided NOT them. We are not all in it together. We need to take our power back from them!
Taking power back is recognition of when we don’t need government interference in our lives and the fact they cannot do virtually anything without our support. It’s always us ordinary people who take any risks.
When are we going to stop being the victims of institutional abuse? Can you not see it?
