What is bringing measures in England and Spain close to collapse, is battles between central and regional government over control of public health measures that confuse the public, stoke ideological polarisation and build on pre-existing regional resentments.

As @TheSun says, the sports industry is worth billions to the UK. So let’s get fans safely into stadiums and help our economy recover.

A tale of two PPE suppliers.

The company set up on 12 May 2020 by an associate of a Conservative Peer.

The family business in Knowsley, with over 50 years proven track record.

One was given a contract for £122 million.

The other was given the run around.

The gov't London mayoral candidate's advice: "You should get back to the office."

This is why the UK manages to combine disastrous health
AND economic results; a totally amateurish, comically deadly, lack of message discipline.

Hospital bosses urge NHS England to drop 'unfair' fines as Covid admissions rise

Exclusive: targets on returning patient care to pre-pandemic levels ‘impossible’ to meet, say trusts


Hospitals in England will be fined for failing to meet “impossible” targets on patient care within weeks in a scheme criticised by NHS trust bosses as “mad, wrong and unfair”.

NHS England is facing calls to urgently rethink plans to impose financial penalties on trusts that fail to return non-emergency operations to near-normal levels by the end of this month.

The directive, which has sparked alarm among regional public health directors and local councils, was issued to hospitals in August and is still going ahead despite a resurgence of coronavirus that threatens to seriously disrupt the NHS this winter (Guardian)

One of the other key ways to stem the growing tide of infections is to fix the centralised test, trace and isolate system, which is working by finding infected people and asking them to tell their contacts to quarantine, Mckee added.

“It’s increasingly clear that the centralised system is quite dysfunctional,” he said.

“Whereas in Germany, Korea and elsewhere, what they’re doing is backward tracing, which is you identify a case, and then you go back until you find the source, and then you act on that. If we were able to identify where the sources of infection were we can act against them. We need intelligent responses, which we don’t have.”
