    An email from a young doctor in London on the clinical frontlines of COVID-19 care describes how senior academic colleagues, most working at home, are publishing research papers without sharing authorship with those actually delivering care to patients. Not kind, not ethical.

    This entire government has committed a collective crime in public office.

    We have to try – at the very least we must try – to hold the line when it comes to corruption in the Cabinet. So we have asked Jason Coppel QC to advise us whether Robert Jenrick has committed the crime of misconduct in public office.

    Just heard Jonathan Ashworth say the reason UK was late to lockdown was because we thought this epidemic was going to be like swine flu. This statement is patently ridiculous. The genome of SARS-CoV-2 was published in January and we knew then it was a coronavirus, not swine flu.

    Chris Whitty is right, but these statements should have been more forcibly made in public before, not after, the government relaxed the lockdown before test and trace was ready.

    This is why an immediate review of the UK’s response to COVID-19 is so important: not to lay blame but to learn lessons.

    And this is why an urgent inquiry now is necessary to learn the lessons of the past 4 months.

    Richard Horton says, "no single preventive measure is adequate to control transmission. What matters is combination prevention...hand washing, respiratory hygiene, mask wearing, physical distancing...avoidance of mass gatherings." Makes sense.

    By July 1, 2020, over 10 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 and 500 000 deaths. It’s surely time for a more coordinated political, public health, medical, economic, and scientific global response. The only way is through an Emergency Special Session of the UNGA. In July. Leadership now.

    America led the world in public health with its Epidemic Intelligence Service. And then, somehow, the country forgot. Progress is not inevitable.

    Could the US have stopped the outbreak completely? Probably not. But we could have done enormously better than we did. Countries that are guided by and support public health and implement a clear national plan save lives and economies.

    Great thanks to Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of for raising attention on this issue which was triggered by my encounter with who treated me with a racist undertone and a disregard for COVID-19 risks. This is serious. Enquiry NOW!

    Read this and be horrified by our country.
