The charge sheet against the UK Government over their criminal mishandling of the Corona pandemic runs to volumes, not pages.
Here is a contribution by John Ashton. Read it, and hope to god a virus in a similar league never again hits on their watch.
Professor Ashton has lifelong hands-on experience and a deep scholarly understanding of the science of public health, a discipline invented in Britain. In this bracing critique he notes that nothing that the UK government has done to deal with COVID-19 is recognisable against two centuries of knowledge. Instead, it is designing untested methods at exceptional expense that have created a public-health and economic crisis never seen before. The government should urgently return to the science as set out in Blinded by Corona. From February, Professor Ashton has applied its precepts to Bahrain, where he was appointed special COVID-19 adviser, and the country topped the WHO league in August. It also suffered the least disruption of the economy and social life and did not have a general lockdown.
A gripping view of our fight against corona Professor Ashton has deep practical understanding of the science of public health - a discipline invented in Britain - as a former Director of Public Health. In this jargon-free fly-on-the-wall tale he sets the UK government's measures to deal with COVID-19 from January against two centuries of home-grown knowledge.
How do the government's experts and the UK's reliance on web-based solutions such as Test&Trace measure up against the past, for example the 2008 Swine 'flu epidemic or the Spanish 'flu?
