Fuck all to do with Covid. Just an illustration of how the affluent half of the world is prepared to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the poor half.

Hopefully after this, we will all care a bit more about others wherever they may be.

It seems doe to the sheer numbers they have to deal with their are thousands unreported deaths in Italy...Wall Street Jiurnal

Public Health England are coming out of this looking completely incompetent. Oxford University went to the press today to say that they have 150 PCR machines and hundreds of post-grad students and researchers trained to use them who could be doing testing, but PHE never replied to their offer.

Also Karen, testing was always a high priority, we just had a low capacity.

Yep. Useless.
More concerned about not breaking existing contracts and processes that deliver total consistency than saving lives.
The military needs to take over management duties.
