@agirlcalledlina I read somewhere about three weeks ago, when Italian doctors were screaming at UK to wake up and FUCK if I can find it now but the gist was basically “Senior Government offical said privately, ‘well, we’re not rushing to follow the advice of the feckless Italians’” 🤦🏻‍♂️

@tj_ohanlon @WHO Ok, discussions like this never end if you ignore my questions and just pose new questions. Let’s park it.

@tj_ohanlon @WHO First, you answered my question with a question. Do you agree with test, trace, isolate? Second, do you think they advised all pregnancies should be terminated? They said abortions be treated as an essential service regardless of pandemic.. which they indeed they should.

@tj_ohanlon @WHO Their core message to countries from the outset has been test, trace and isolate. Countries that followed this rigourously (New Zealand, S. Korea) have minimal cases. Countries that ignored that advice (UK, USA) have thousands dead.

@danoliver @netmag Shiiittt - Gutted to hear this, have subscribed for years. Is this purely covid related or has it been on the cards?

There will be the mother of all inquiries when this passes into how Boris et al monumentally fucked this up. They ignored the rest of the EU, ignored the WHO and stubbornly pursued a bonkers strategy of "Keep calm & carry on"... killing thousands. Exceptionalism's darkest hour. https://t.co/1JQbfOgVuo
