Now, the highest number of deaths from Covid in Europe - how true to type for Greater Than Ever Brexit Britain

Now, the highest number of deaths from Covid-19 in Europe - how true to type for Greater Than Ever Brexit Britain

December 2019 to March 2020 to prepare for the vicious virus, the authorities - local, regional and national - twiddled their thumbs. They failed to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. Not a single thing, it seems. No contact tracing, no extra supplies of PPE, test kits and extra ventilators. But, plenty more austerity for the NHS and social care that had started in 2010.

From 1988, with the formation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to the present to prepare for the Really Big Crisis - NOTHING. Simply, business as usual. Evermore and everlasting finite fossil fool politicians and their officers. More deadly, catastrophic greenhouse gases. We are sleepwalking into a nightmare of our own prevarication and complacency.
