Prediction: total shitshow come Sept when public realise implication of what’s happening re schools. It’s why #ZeroCOVID is only game in town & why every day we fail to pursue it is another day wasted. We are approaching failed state level of incompetence https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53638083

Fears grow of second wave when schools reopen

Scientists say the UK test-and-trace scheme is not yet good enough to stop a resurgence of coronavirus.

Independent SAGE has been calling for #ZeroCOVID. It’s what Scotland & Ireland doing. @CMO_England failed to give any adequate response why UK is not. Labour missing in action. And failure to take action over summer = another potential disaster this winter https://www.wired.co.uk/article/zero-covid-coronavirus-elimination

Scotland is aiming to eliminate coronavirus. Why isn’t England?

New Zealand has shown countries what's possible if they take every measure to stop the virus reaching their shores. But England isn't following in its footsteps

Meanwhile. This is hugely worrying.

Serco’s test & trace STILL failing to do the BASIC job it is being paid millions to do. After all these months we STILL don’t have a functioning system. Meanwhile, parliament HAS GONE ON HOLIDAY.

If that is the case @JonAshworth & @Keir_Starmer why have you failed to back or even engage with what is required for a #ZeroCOVID elimination strategy? The basic steps have not been taken. Every day counts.

There is terrible state of denial. Schools are the foundation to any sort of functioning economy. And cases are rising. Without a plan for elimination, there is no plan. This is our only window to get on top of the virus. And every day, we are failing https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/aug/03/concerns-persist-over-plan-to-reopen-schools-in-england?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
