In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

In his amicus brief on release of the special counsel report, Trump argues: “As the President-Elect and soon-to-be 47th President, President Trump has an interest in a smooth transition and efficacious vesting of executive power."

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Like the lawyers, doctors and other medical professionals are preparing to stand up and speak truth to power. Our fellow citizens deserve no less.
We need as many healthcare professionals to be courageous and speak to truth, for our patient’s sake and for the sanctity and credibility of our profession.
That starts now. We cannot allow the highly abnormal to be normalized.

As we head into winter, hospital admissions in England with Covid are increasing sharply (again), plus flu and RSV starting their annual rise.
The year round nature of Covid could not be more obvious!
There's also a lot of Rhinovirus (causes common cold) around.
