The government have on the QT agreed to support the call from the RCN, RCM and unison.
For a 1 minute silence to be held tomorrow at 11am for all the health and key workers who have sadly died due to the virus. For the recored Hancock lied today the true figure of health and social care workers who have died is 136.
So if you get the chance hope you will take a minute to remember the ones who have died caring for others.

Did he just give the hospitals total? I seem to remember him saying something like 82.
- Location
- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Even if he did that figure is not right either. He also said 16 care staff.

Aside from their ability to do it better than the people who literally write the OS for the phones. it seems to me that anything that is a barrier for people using it, battery life, privacy concerns, is a bad thing

It is an example of scope creep making it harder to deliver the original intentions. File it under projects going wrong , taking longer and costing far more than forecast, and not meeting original objectives.
Do one thing, and do it well.
Government I.T. projects famously always deliver the exact brief on time and under budget and without any crippling technical issues, I foresee no problems whatsoever

What do you mean the database has been hacked and the precise location history of every person who has installed it is available on the dark web?
I cannot see how anyone could have possibly foreseen such a thing. Lessons will be learned from this, we assure you. There must be an inquiry.

So, about that Russia report... sorry, Larry the Downing Street cat ate it

Heard Johnson's speech, or some of it, on the news tonight.
Alas, his near death experience appears not to have changed him. Still the same bombast, empty rhetoric.
The contrast to a clip of Ardern later was telling in the extreme.

It is interesting to look at how New Zealand has been able to cope so well with the Covid-19 Pandemic.
There has been much justifiable praise of Ardern and contrasts with other leaders.
But is is worth looking beyond that at the Societal and structural factors that have led to their success.
Just typing "NZ civil defence" into Google leads directly to a veritable cascade of information relating to the many and various major hazards that are part of every day life in NZ :
"In New Zealand we have a lot of natural hazards. Earthquakes, floods, landslides, snow, storms, tsunami, volcanic activity, and other hazards can happen any time and often without warning. "
Recent Volcanic and Earthquake activity in NZ only serve to emphasise the reality of the hazards and the need for preplanning
Pandemic preplanning was a natural part of the Civil Defence structures
Add to that the Bio-security controls faced by anyone entering NZ and the general awareness of the need to protect NZ from the entry of Pests & Diseases and there ability to exercise the control they have becomes clear.

I think this is a real shame, I was hoping it might impart some wisdom. What strikes me about the whole government approach to the pandemic is that there is no-one who has any grip. Someone who bends the rules, goads, chivies and generally ensures that what needs doing gets done, and do the paperwork afterwards.

Or it could be they didnt go with the herd immunity....
There an Island and took advantage of that.They quarantined people arriving for 14 days,whilst we allowed people to arrive without any checks.When you look at Johnson and look at Ardern you have to ask yourself what a leader looks like.She has put people's lives above the economy...now if only Dom and Johnson could have thought of that.
