@ COFTY - Quarrantine the residents and the staff for starters - many lives were at stake - and then show the staff how to implement strict hygiene measures - something which was alarmingly lacking when I visited my best friend's mother in the so-called "care" home where she was (thankfully) a temporary resident.

Trillions of £/$ have been spent to legally impose "protection" on healthy people, while little or no safety precautions were instituted immediately to protect the very ones who were almost guaranteed to be killed by Covid 19. Many of those deaths could & should have been prevented. It isn't rocket science.
Training in "strict barrier"? Isn't personal hygiene the primary barrier which prevents infection & transmission.
The most draconian laws and regulations in history were imposed on the UK public, but nursing homes simply "banned visitors"? That worked well, didn't it?
No doubt we'll be seeing "new regulations" for such establishments being implemented before the next 'flu season hits the U.K. Lock the stable-door.....

BBC News today =
NURSING HOMES: "The care sector, for example, believes more should have been done to protect care homes, given the rising number of deaths that are being reported - there are indications that these account for HALF of all deaths now." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52611507
Will anyone be held accountable for this avoidable catastrophe?

Nicola Sturgeon doesn't want Boris' new slogan advertised in Scotland.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52605959
Isolate and protect the most vulnerable and let the fit & healthy resume normal life again. Quarrantining millions of healthy people is mind-blowingly insane!
If the UK governments (plural!) had implemented strict protective measures for nursing homes right at the outset, how many lives would have been saved? Disgustingly & criminally negligent.

Quote from BBC News: "Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to unveil the system, which will use a scale of one to five, as part of an address broadcast to the nation at 19:00 BST."
Yes BBC - to the ENGLISH nation, not the Welsh, Scottish, or N.I. nations.
The only thing "united" in all of this was the contempt of the chief advisors in England and Scotland, Prof. Neil Ferguson and Catherine Calderwood who broke the laws on "social-distancing" which they dictated everyone else should obey! But they weren't sacked - they "resigned."

@ cofty - devolved powers & laws are one thing, but a national crisis/emergency situation overrides devolved administrations - or at least, common sense says they should. AFAIK, London dictates in such situations.
If not why didn't the U.K. government accept N.I. & Scotland's wishes to remain in the E.U.?
I'm off to B&Q garden centre now!

We keep being told that "we're all in this together." LOL!
Discriminatory "emergency" laws/rules - based on your postcode - contradict that propaganda mantra.
Boris is emulating Mrs. Merkel, by passing the hot potato to others to deal with - "in their own region."

@ diogenesister - since nursing homes have banned all of their residents from receiving visits from family & friends for some time now, it's not rocket science to figure out that the nursing home staff are infecting & killing them.

I thought this was a national crisis. Boris only acts as Prime Minister of England. What statesmanship!

I wonder what the world war 2 generation would think about the "democracy" we have today:
Freedom of movement withdrawn, holidays banned, exercising more than once per day a criminal offence, (Wales) visiting relatives/friends illegal, businesses ruined, income/employment withdrawn, children's education suspended indefinitely, every "routine" surgical/health procedure cancelled for at least 3 months. (in U.K.)
They'd be aghast.
