THE government’s “incompetence, negligence, misconduct, lack of vision and sheer immorality” is responsible for Covid deaths hitting 1,000 a week, campaigners said today.

Zero Covid pointed out that the weekly number of deaths in Britain is equivalent to the toll from three fatal air crashes.

There have been more than 20,000 “excess” deaths since July and over two million people are suffering from “long Covid,” including children, the campaign group said.
