Covid rules should have been same across UK, Simon Hart says
Covid rules should have been same across UK, Simon Hart says

“Rules to try to limit the spread of Covid during the pandemic should have been the same across the UK, a former cabinet minister has said. Simon Hart has claimed ‘politics in the decision-making’ led to different restrictions on things like wearing face masks in Wales and England after being agreed by their respective governments. ‘I just didn't feel that decisions were being made purely on the basis of disease control and risk management,’ said the former Welsh secretary and MP.”

Right you lovely people. It's time to talk about the Third Bump again.

Strap in, this isn't good news. Just to give you a quick recap: Before the pandemic started, annual rates of sickness, new onset disability, and death were pretty constant here…”

“Yes this is how most people remember it, left to right. Governments were also doing direct cash transfers to citizens, homeless people were found shelter, evictions were banned and debts were frozen. We should ask why the latter didn't become the cultural story”

“Official COVID-19 mortality statistics have not fully captured deaths attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infection in the United States. While some excess deaths were likely related to pandemic health care interruptions and socioeconomic disruptions, temporal correlations between reported COVID-19 deaths and excess deaths reported to non-COVID-19 natural causes suggest that many of those excess deaths were unrecognized COVID-19 deaths.”

‘SILENCE=DEATH’: Long COVID-suffering performers protest outside BAFTAs

““In just 4 years, Covid has killed more people than AIDS did in 40—both have devastated the arts.

Governments and workplaces once built the infrastructure to protect us, but now they’ve torn it all down. The world needs art more than ever to remind us of our shared humanity.”

The COVID-19 pandemic, as best as we can tell, took more than 20 million lives, cost $16 trillion, kept 1.6 billion children out of school, and pushed some 130 million people into poverty. And it’s not over
