okay new from the sunday papers
Figures from the Imperial College suggest the number of new daily infections had hit 286,528 by the time the lockdown was introduced in the UK.
A source who was involved in advising Downing Street at the time claimed herd immunity had been central to government plans in late February and early March.
They told the Sunday Times: "There was always this message coming straight down of, ‘We’ve all got to get it."
And a government source added that lockdown was only started to be considered as an option at the start of March .
They said: "I think a sense of, ‘It can’t really be that bad’ was important in explaining the delay.
"I think an overarching concern — and why so much time was spent looking at alternatives involving mitigation and shielding — was that everyone, especially Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and the policy people, knew what the economic and social costs of lockdown would be."
But on Wednesday, March 11, Anthony Costello, professor of global health at University College London and a former World Health Organisation director, tweeted a stark warning.
He said: "We’re simply not doing enough now.
"We shd [sic] ban mass gatherings, close parliaments, alert all health workers about protective equipment and hygiene, close schools/colleges, promote home working wherever possible, and protect workers in the gig economy.
"Every day of delay will kill.”
THEY WERE WARNED MARCH 11TH.
this is not some guy in a tv show warning that people are being taken over by aliens this is a professor of global health.
CRIMINAL ACTION ! when do we start the legal action.
Reported by the Sunday Times, a study by Edge Heath, a group that analyses NHS figures through data-modelling, claims the game led to 41 additional deaths between 25 and 35 days following the game.
Even boss Jurgen Klopp said it was "criminal" that the game went ahead according to rival Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti told Corriere dello Sport: "I spoke with Klopp a few days ago, he told me that the decision to play Liverpool-Atletico was a criminal act and I think he's right."
Edge Health also claim that the Cheltenham Festival, which controversially went ahead and attracted 250,000 spectators over the four days, also contributed to an additional 37 coronavirus-related deaths.
The Government suggested that they followed the advice available at the time.
Lockdown measures in England were introduced ten days after the annual festival.
these people are not crazy conspiracy theorist. they are not the ones when we say ' hindsight is a wonderful thing' they are people who knew before it happened. like almost everywhere else. look at denmark. immediate action. lockdown and as for keeping the economy going while people died they have actually harmed the economy more by forcing us to have a longer lock-down.
the tories have always been seen as the party to be trusted with the economy. can we now throw that in the dustbin. we need government to support and help people to improve the economy.
