Like Germany with a much older age profile than the UK? The difference is they prepared for pandemic properly - they had testing supplies for mass testing, contact tracing systems, PPE, ventilators and much more. This crisis has been exacerbated by govt negligence

These are good questions for
@PHE_uk and their slow response to@the need to ramp up testing. It is clear that Ministers were frustrated as well. With regards to Germany what I would like to know is why testing on its own prevented the spread of#COVID19 as you suggest?1 antwoord 0 retweets 1 vind-ik-leuk -
Its not mass testing in isolation, it was critically contact tracing. South Korea did exactly the same. Many of the uk deaths could have been avoided. As WHO said - test, test, test. We didn’t listen. The 2016 ‘stress test’ of readiness revealed the issues, Ministers didn’t act

I find it hard to say the deaths could be avoided, as we haven’t reached ICU capacity. But it’s fair to say we could have avoiding as many people catching it right now. So the real question, is would those deaths happened over the coming years as the virus stays with us.

Really good question Stuart. Undoubtedly some of those who died with complications of
#COVID19 may well have died of their underlying conditions.2 antwoorden 0 retweets 1 vind-ik-leuk -
But early deaths none the less - we can’t make excuses for early deaths just because someone is already ill. They could have spent many years happily with their families - they are COVID deaths like anyone else
