1/...Can’t wait for public inquiry around #Covid19, the blame game is already well under way and it’ll be delicious.

2/..Public Health England was worse than useless & failed to provide frontline workers with the protection they needed. PHE, the vast unaccountable quango whose one job is to protect the UK from pandemics, failed abysmally to provide the testing needed as a first line of defence

3/..NHS managers panicked under pressure and made the decision to clear all beds for incoming #coronavirus victims (who never really materialised) while catastrophically pushing elderly infected patients into care homes.

4/...Neither the NHS or PHE thought fit to build the necessary stockpile of PPE, leaving frontline medical staff exposed to the virus. Over 300 NHS workers have died

5/..Then along came Neil Ferguson who created #Lockdown panic with claims of 500k dead - a figure no other scientist has supported. Sunetra Gupta, Oxford Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology, says the UK death rate from Covid is 1-in-a-1000, with Lockdown an unnecessary “luxury”

6/..Prof Gupta echoes a growing view that Britain could return to normal TOMORROW, opening pubs, clubs, restaurants and festivals, without putting lives needlessly at risk.
The bloated NHS bureaucratic machine was quite simply caught on the hop and heads must roll
