Tory Covid 1
Outsourced Test & Trace at £12billion, has 60% success rate (80% needed)
Local public health teams reached 97.7% of contacts, asking them to self-isolate
Tory response? Give £7billion more to failing companies, so 000s more people die, while shareholders get v rich
Tory Covid 2
Innova rapid lateral flow tests, ensuring only uninfected students travel home, costs £millions
But PHE found people self-testing have 42.4% false negative rate
Thousands of students will think they're Covid-free, while infecting passengers, family & friends at Xmas
Tory Covid 3
Serco contact tracers reach about 50% people potentially infected
Council run local contact tracers, including home visits, reach up to 87%
No wonder - with lack of financial support or help with shopping - compliance with isolation is estimated as low as 11%

The Boris Johnson step-by-step guide to turning a coronavirus crisis into a disaster
1 While other countries prepared for the worst, tear up previous government's emergency plans, and take two months off dithering before taking any action
2 While other countries promote the message of washing not shaking hands, have the PM publicly boast about shaking hands with everyone in a coronavirus hospital
3 Promote policy of developing herd immunity - when its exposed as pseudo-science, deny such a policy ever existing
4 While other countries are massively increasing testing and tracing, stop doing it - so that it is impossible to develop a coherent plan and thenceforth all policy decisions are reactions to emergencies
