Top Secret

The UK Government has a special emergency planning panel, called COBRA. The COBRA for COVID-19 is secret. No one knows who is on it, immunologists are curious to know who is on the panel and what the plan is.

If there is a plan, of course.

But this is serious. Two weeks delay in social distancing will add tens of thousands of casualties, all of them someone's Mother, Father, Sister, brother, son, daughter, grandparent. And all have been sacrificed due to dilly and dallying. Remember, the Government were following a herd immunity plan, one which would have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. All those two lots of tens of thousands and you have a national catastrophe.

The Government are saying they are following the science. But which science?

And new Labour leader, Keir Starmer, has today asked what the plan is for the end of the lockdown, because there has to be one. There has to be regular mass testing, and tracing those who have contact with who is positive.

Four weeks ago, the PM stated that testing for all NHS staff and care home staff was being rolled out. It still have not been done properly. Neither has getting PPE to staff either on the frontline or in G surgeries. A GP said he had a 90 minute drive each way today to collect four masks for him and his staff, as that is all they have been allocated.

Meanwhile Matt Hancock announced that testing would start on those being discharged from hospital into care homes. This was also promised by the PM a month ago.

Although no good news about PPE, he did announce they have bought some nice badges. I wish I had made all this up.

All true.
