Millions of life-saving Covid-19 drugs go to waste
The NHS has backtracked on plans to offer a life-saving Covid drug to the elderly and obese this winter, meaning millions of doses already purchased may go to waste.

just on this - I totally get that people were working under immense pressure and felt close to breaking point.
But so were thousands of others - in the NHS, in the science community, in local government, in many businesses - and they followed the rules.

The differential impact of both Covid & and Covid measures on those in ethnic minority or more deprived communities is a real failure of the England Covid response.

They realised mid-March that there was "essentially no shielding plan at all"
When these started turning up for those shielding to feed them for a week when they couldnt access food and medicine, we began to work out there was no real plan
3 1/2 yrs on and nothings better

Immunocompromised have shielded 3 1/2 yrs and now they are put at risk
People are dying due to this
