On 16 March, the govt claimed that
“the has science changed” & #COVID19 was more infectious than they’d realised. BUT they waited a WEEK to impose lockdown!
Ystdy, the govt claimed “new scientific evidence has emerged” which makes mandatory face masks essential...IN 8 DAYS TIME!

On 12 March, the govt stopped community testing. They initially claimed this was because the science showed they weren’t necessary. They later admitted the real reason was they didn’t have enough tests.
It turned out the UK was exporting tests - & PPE - as late as mid-March.

After 3 months claiming that there was no need for screening at airports or quarantining from hotspots, @pritipatel finally introduced a 2 week quarantine for arrivals that was so absurd that it was scrapped 2 weeks later.
By then, the UK had the highest death rate in the world.

Unlike 120 countries that have recognised that for mandatory face masks reduce transmission of #COVID19, the UK govt decided to wait 4 months before introduced this measure.
At first the reason could have been a mask shortage, but only for the 1st month.

The govt us told the track & trace app is vital in the fight against #COVID19
We were told a “world beating” app would be up & running by 1 June
The PM claimed it was running by 1 June
We’re now told that it may be up & running “by the end of the year”.

The UK has the worse death rate ratio in the world: far worse than the US & Brazil.
UK lifted lockdown having met less than a third of the WHO& #39;s tests for lifting lockdown.
A study from June, put the UK 4th from bottom in a league table of 176 countries.

On 12 March, “a senior No.10 figure” told @Peston that the govt’s strategy was #HerdImmunity.
Realising that a strategy that could kill off hundreds of thousands of Britons, might not go down well, the govt have denied it, but it is STILL their strategy.

4 months ago, I stumbled into the #COVID19 scandal & have been up to my neck in it ever since
It was clear from early on the country was taking the wrong path
We knew
They knew
They knew we knew
And yet they carried on
The evidence says it was the plan
