COVID

Yesterday, some 1564 people died of COVID, or were registered to have died.

That is the same as four fully loaded 747s crashing on the same day, or 16 Hillsboroughs.

Each one leaves behind friends, family and lives.

Most caused by Government inaction in November and December, and with the effects of the relaxed Christmas rules yet to be felt.

Today's figures have been delayed, and are 3 hours lte in being published, part of me expects them not to appear again, now that the Government is so world leading in that 1 in every 660 people in the UK has now died of COVID as the excess deaths total heads towards 100,000.

Vaccine roll out is excellent, as the UK had two weeks head start on the rest of Europe, due to the fact the UK sourced its own supply at an addditional cost of £600,000,000 over the Eu negotiated price.

But there are still to be firm plans how the vaccine is going to be further rolled out to beet the target of 13,500,000 by the 14th February. The Government is planning on giving members of the public basic training, while requiring retired GPs and health care officials having to provide 11 pieces of documented evidence.

It will be a top down roll out, ignoring the existing network of GPs and pharmacists.

Just like the testing program, and the not mentioned anymore tracing.

Why use existing framework when you bung your mates a few billion quid?
