We need a zero-Covid strategy
by Diane Abbott MP and Morning Star editor Ben Chacko
A nurse works on a computer in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) in St George's Hospital in Tooting, south-west London, where the number of intensive care beds for the critically sick has had to be increased from 60 to 120, the vast majority of which are for coronavirus patients.

THE government has mishandled the coronavirus pandemic at every stage and led us to a disastrous series of outcomes. There is no more important issue currently facing us.  

So, we are calling for the broadest possible coalition of all those who want the government to change course, to implement a series of measures that will work to suppress the virus.

Recent history in this country and internationally has shown that there can be no return to any semblance of normal existence until the virus is suppressed.
