Apparently, according to Boris Johnson, covid bereaved are ‘wrangling on’ about deaths.

In black and white here you have it. 'Too little too late' and led by a 'chaotic and toxic' government. Without both my Grandma Sheila, and many others, may well not have died at that time and in that way.

Tomorrow is a hugely important day.
At 4pm, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry will publish its report into the UK’s pandemic decision-making & political governance.
I dearly hope our political leaders & decision-makers will listen, learn &, above all, act on the findings.
Because there will be a next time.

The question “has there been a culpable state failure?” must surely fall into module 2, Core UK Gov’t decision-making & political governance.
The question on many HCW minds is surely “does the decision to downgrade PPE from FFP3 to FRSM on 13 Mar 2020 represent such culpability?”

On Thurs 20th, Lady Hallett publishes her module 2 report.
We wait with interest to see how it covers the deception wrought upon HCWs that: a) Covid is droplet/fomite, but not airborne b) Flimsy Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks are 'PPE' and will keep you safe.

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.
Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!
