“I'm shaking hands continuously. I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few Coronavirus patients, and I shook hands with everybody, you'll be pleased to know”.
- Boris Johnson, a few weeks ago.
This man and his government initially totally ignored warnings and advice from the World Health Organization, from The Lancet, from China, etc, and instead downplayed the virus, putting us all at risk.
They opted for a strategy of 'taking it on the chin' - a completely nonsensical, incredibly irresponsible, and extremely anti-human, 'herd immunity' strategy.
This delay in responding appropriately to the crisis will result in many more deaths.
And the NHS - already under-resourced following decades of privatization and austerity imposed by Boris Johnson's ilk - will be far more overstretched than would otherwise have been the case.
