No he didn’t. He said a total of 92 homes have now reported the virus. But then that’s not good scaremongering.

Society will be rocked to the core when the true figures of care home deaths are revealed

Let’s not forget that this was Dominic Cummings’ action plan mid March

fucking death camps more like. Large companies farming old people with low paid labour and this the result

Can’t win really - my aunties home in London shut doors very early - closed to all visitors - she died on Thursday I think it was loneliness ! No visits for 4 weeks -no one to chat to or give her sweeties or even explain why - she just gave up ! No covid though!

Be elderly cares for in their own homes next

And when care home are short they ring for help and sum1 from out off town comes so they could be infected and spreading it

I no sum1 who as been around a person who has it and I rang the home and all they said we will investigate that was a week ago and that person is still at work today even tho 2 people have got mild symptoms and 1 is my sister 1 1 old lady as passed there dont care selfishpricks

If you asked any doctor, any nurse, any carer, anybody: “Would you like to be tested?”, what do you think they would say? I think we all know the answer. Care homes are being placed in an impossible position. Without testing they cannot preserve lives. CareIndustryNew
