Mad that almost *a thousand people* died in this country in a single day, and the media sort of collectively shrugs.
"What can you do eh? We are where we are"
I wonder what daily death toll would need to get to, to spark some proper high profile outrage.

What's the number that prompts Peston to stop throwing up soft, matey underarm questions about Boris Johnson's health so he doesn't upset anyone and he still gets access to ministers for his show?
The steadily creeping daily death toll in recent weeks just seems to mean this huge number has become normalised because at this stage everyone is given a pass cos "it's really hard isn't it?"
Yes, it is hard now, because the PM was slow to act, jovially talking about shaking hands, and didn't chair a cobra meeting until early March, when other countries were taking this threat seriously.
It is hard now because this fucking government has spent a decade stripping public services to the bone, spent years vilifying immigrants who are fundamental to these services, and generally fucking over many of the people were now reliant on.
It is hard now because you've got clowns like Hancock who's built his reputation on catchphrases without consequences, peddling bullshit like 50k new nurses including 18k that are already there, and weren't personally and professionally dismantled for this absolute nonsense.
It is hard now because there's a fucking consequences. Massive, seismic consequences that mean hundreds are loosing their lives and the people meant to be leading the response aren't fit to do so because.
Almost a thousand people in a single day. Fuck. Me.

Remember how we were repeatedly told that there *is* enough PPE and it's a distribution problem? 3 weeks on now. Either that hasn't been sorted, or it was just another lie, because it's better to cover up shortcomings than look bad even if doctors and nurses are dying.
"Don't politicise it, now isn't the time"
When will the time be? There'll be another shit storm to occupy everyone's time after this and it'll be brushed under the carpet and go away.

Filed with things like Priti Patel bullying and that Russia report that was definitely going to be released after the election.
Meanwhile, the collective shrug continues as we hit 8000 deaths. "What can we do, it's hard isn't it?"
