Lessons not learned from Covid five years on from lockdown, campaigners say
“The UK is less prepared for another pandemic than it was pre-Covid because “lessons have not been learnt” five years on, campaigners have warned.”
I am sorry to say that after nearly five years since my SARS-CoV-2 infection & in year six of this ongoing pandemic, these are some of the conclusions I have arrived at. Integrity, ethics, & morality are in short supply in some corners of the scientific research community. /1

“President Biden owed his 2020 win in part due to his promise that he would do better than his predecessor in handling the pandemic; that unlike Trump, he would “follow the science.” And at first, he did. But once it became clear that new variants would arise and vaccines would not prevent all Covid cases—though they did limit hospitalizations and deaths—the Biden administration went way off course. Rather than following the science and ramping up rapid-test production, covering testing and new vaccines, and upholding commonsense safety measures like masking in health care, his Covid czar, a corporate executive, chose to pretend Covid was a thing of the past.”

This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people don’t know it’s airborne, don’t know the risks. 1
