Imagine living in developed country where face masks are the norm and not stigmatised. That’s Japan with almost 10 times less COVID deaths than England.

"We need an Executive now. We need a proper multiyear budget now. Above all else, we need proper public accountability now. Under no circumstances can our overworked health service doctors and staff be held accountable for the harm we know will arise this winter" Tom Black BMA NI
