Due to the actions of this government, the challenges facing those with disabilities, such as spinal cord injuries, are nigh on insurmountable, argus RUTH HUNT
THE first cases of Covid-19 in Britain were reported on January 31 2020. The World Health Organisation (WHO) classified the virus as a pandemic on March 11 2020 and immediately called for countries to take “urgent and aggressive action” to combat the spread of the virus based on the model adopted by the Chinese government.
Despite the significant and crucial passage of time, repeated warnings by the NHS and WHO, the response of Boris Johnson’s Tory government has been criminally slow. It is only in the last few days that they have begun to adopt meaningful measures such as closing schools and workplaces.
This is despite the fact that Britain’s trade union movement has been calling for these precautions for weeks. Even now, a myriad of vital measures which the Communist Party has consistently demanded are yet to be implemented.
