Shooting hares in England to be banned for most of the year
Exclusive: Ministers also expected to announce trail-hunting ban in sweeping changes to animal welfare law

Flu (+RSV/HMPV etc) doesn't have to be "super" to cause profound harm, disruption, & NHS pressure.
SARS2 variants don't have to be "more virulent".
Not being in the emergency phase of a pandemic does NOT mean we should revert back to ignoring infectious disease.

The Government must assess current standards in hospitals and schools — and act where they fall short.
