1. So:
Testing broken
Economy crashed
Reinfection is a thing
2,000 schools with confirmed cases
~ 1 million kids absent
Long-term complications of infection
Uni students captive
Hospitality & events industry crushed
Cases, hospitalisation & deaths all up...

2. Can we agree the government’s approach has failed and, as Sweden admits similar, can we finally ignore all the deniers & minimisers? Can we copy Vietnam, Thailand and other countries that have succeeded? Lockdown until cases are close to zero (we were almost there in June)...

3. Deliver proper test, trace & isolate, physical distancing, mandate masks everywhere (including schools) & implement border testing & quarantine. It’s basically what I suggested to @MattHancock in March, but some deemed it too costly. Bet it looks cheap now.

4. Look at countries living more or less as normal. This is what they’ve done.

What we’re doing isn’t working, so let’s make a national, wartime effort to get our lives back.

#ZeroCovid is the only way.
