The British government knew a deadly virus was coming, but failed to prepare | Richard Horton

We knew this was coming. In her 1994 warning to the world, The Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett concluded: “While the human race battles itself, fighting over ever more crowded turf and scarcer resources, the advantage moves to the microbes’ court. They are our predators and they will be victorious if we, Homo sapiens, do not learn how to live in a rational global village that affords the microbes few opportunities.

Uli_ausCalmbach Sounds familiar.

The word ‘knew’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence with ‘failed to prepare’ not far behind. Nonsense headline.

To all the people trying to defend Johnson’s dreadful handling of COVIDー19 ..... explain this.....2nd Day of Cheltenham! 👇

Cedar50 But Johnson is in “Good Spirits”

mojos55 Herd immunity mate, in their eyes we’re only herd

TheLancet so what did the (you) The Guardian do - as media you saw it coming too !

redrobboone THIS. CoronaVirus Truth from the editor of the Lancet HerdImmunity ToryBritain

The British government know we are facing recession, suicidal record numbers and mental health issues. 3.2 million new universal credit applications. How many families can’t afford to feed there children? Hope they’ve prepared for that?

Shades of USA

In their defence the WHO tweeted in mid-Jan that it couldn’t be spread from person to person, after swallowing China’s bullshit

so China WHO and the media all played this down told the public nothing to worry about No human to human transmission no need to wear masks no need to lock down travel and close borders say it comes from china and you wacist you clowns need to start telling truth

Kempton CORONA FIRST TRUMP SECOND (Johnson Bolsonaro CPC) call truth a lie I don't pray a second I wish recovery Humanity is challenged False news humiliates free societies undermines social achievements Security is destroyed We are all human Protection against FAKE NEWS is a human right

Hmmm. Boris Johnson and Donald Trump.

Same here in Aussie land

And suddenly BoJo got sick 😀😂

We didn't know it was that deadly until we got the figures from Italy. If China had given their real figures the world would have shut all flights from China immediately and all countries would have been better prepared.

So did the Dump administration. Both failed the people

They also knew we'd be unprepared for it but were too busy pleasing their brexit voters back in January. 🙄

Can we please stop with this continual commentary with the discredited Horton. His own inaccuracies on this crisis are well documented, but don't forget this was the man who took 12 years to withdraw his medical paper claiming that autism was linked to vaccination.

Maybe this is what they wanted.

Well I think most world leaders failed to prepare in time

Trump told them it was fake news.

Guardian wheels out political shill Richard Horton for their rent an anti government gob hit piece. Sorry guys... Not working!

A completely discredited labour activist speaks

So did the United States. Thought they could deny it away.

Wrong

Well what do you expect from a government composed of vapid right wing political hacks and shite newspaper columnists? We got the government we deserved and the rich irony is that many of those who wanted it the most will die because of it....

Let's bash the Tories again, yah?

USA and GB had same approach when it comes to tackling corona virus..unfortunately it deemed as a bad one..

horton is a left wing prat with an agenda. the who said it wasn't human to human for weeks. every country has acted the best it can and there's no blame anyone but china and w.h.o

errrr..was it same Dr Richard Horton who tweeted this?

Dr Abdul Chowdhury, 53, who warned Boris Johnson that frontline NHS staff urgently needed more Personal Protective Equipment died after being diagnosed with Covid-19. Does the government even care? Why is this not being reported?

Richard Horton knew the Andrew Wakefield article advising against the MMR vaccination was extremely flawed but still published it in the Lancet.
