Is the UK Government doing enough to lessen the spread of Covid-19?Five years ago a leading scientist and expert in Pandemic risk predicted there would be a Pandemic soon; Three years ago the NHS failed a stress test for Pandemic preparedness. The government did nothing other than continue to underfund the health and social care system, failed to fund nurse training which has left a current shortfall of 40,000 nurses and 10,000 doctors. Many medics left to return to their home EU countries due to Brexit hostility and racism. Herd immunity and handwashing was the initial strategy now discredited and not used by other countries, so the UK was late to lockdown and impose public distancing rules. The mortality rate was predicted at 1-2% maximum. New ONS data reveals that care home/at home Covid 19 deaths combined with hospital deaths = 20% mortality rate.ViewDate:
