Infections are spiking.
Why?
Is it that people are breaking rules that stop the infection or following rules that increase the infection? Should we blame the public or change the rules.
Here are three key pieces of evidence
The Government is pressuring people back to work, claiming that 'workplaces are safe' but abdicating responsibility for making them safe. Employers achnowledge that 46% of workplaces are not distanced. 38% of the most vulnerable workers report no protections against infection.
The government is urging people to go to bars and restaurants (it's our 'patriotic duty' said Johnson). Yet evidence from the US suggests that those who are infected are TWICE as likely to have been to a restaurant or bar recently.
The government acknowledges that prompt testing and isolation is essential to break chains of infection, yet people can't get tests or are being told to travel great distances to get them and now it energes many tests are simply being thrown away
Yet the government takes no rersponsibility for any of this and instead tries to distract us from their failures by blaming the public (especially young people) or else by announcing grandiose irrelevances like 'moonsh*t'.
We won't be fooled again!
