This from Hans Bromwich, Cowes. Ed


The Government is not following the Coronavirus science, it is ignoring it.

The handling of this pandemic throughout has been one cock-up after another, first with herd immunity, then PPE, testing, care home infections etc etc. It has been a total shambles leading to the highest death count for any European Country.

As we rush to unlock the lockdown to supposedly save the economy, there is no reason to believe the trajectory of chaos will end in the government’s quest to become ‘world class’ exemplars of incompetence and stupidity.
