As the nation stays at home to “protect the NHS”, another tragedy has been unfolding away from the public gaze. Covid-19 is raging through the UK’s care homes. The number of residents dying each week with the virus rose tenfold between 27 March and 4 April. It has long been clear that the virus is more likely to be fatal to the elderly and to those with underlying health conditions, yet those most in need of shielding have not been afforded the protection they needed.
Shut up irresponsible journalist.
They are privately run mostly so the government would not know what stocks they had and they are trying to force the government to now run them
But hey keep gov bashing. You and your reporters become less relevant as ppl question your end game.
Think it more to do with care homes being private so not covered by nhs procurement. So care homes should be able to cover costs from profits
yep, should the private companies that own these, making huge profits supplied staff with ppe ? asking for a friend
Who’s we? Speak to those running the care homes
Give me strength.
