as is your choice, personally I'd like to see some detailed analysis of how many of the deaths attributed to C-19 were inevitable anyway, but this isn't the time for such analysis. People's loved one's are passing, and that is an awful reality.

Yes I’m interested to know how the coroners office and health and safety executive reacts to the situation where employees are exposed to a hazardous workplace.

Manslaughter or Murder?

So who are you holding accountable for the deaths of public sector and public service workers who have died as a result of exposure to an unsafe workplace, thus breaking the health and safety at Work Act 1974.

It's a disgrace that they're being sent out to deliver crap like that during a pandemic.

With the ever increasing deaths of the NHS doctors and Nurses, and the general public servants like bus drivers and posties, just what has become of the pillar of society, “The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974” ?

It is the primary Law of the Land.

The Tory government are riding roughshod over the law for political gain.

Have the tories silenced the “ Health and Safety Executive” ?, are they to just another Tory quango?

Only an absolute cretin would try and politicise a crisis like this. Well done. Bravo. I bet you also liked the twitter post from the labour supporter who wants to throw a party if the prime minister dies.

What about the party that are still not able to supply PPE to all those that need it even after such a length of time. The announcement today was the second one after they first stated that the PPE delivery was now on course.
We have not only the NHS who need it but care and nursing home staff who are looking after the most vulnerable. I know they don’t count in the death totals but are still just as important and deserve to be kept safe along with those taking care of them.

Not only have we had to go from 'normal use PPE' to 10's of millions of items being manufactured, procured & delivered but we've also had to develop guidance on what is the correct PPE and how long and in what circumstances it should be worn https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ipment-ppe But you stick to the; we should have had it on a shelf accompanied by guidance on a virus that didn't exist mindset. Keep your thinking simple as it makes for a good drunken discussion.
