Not sending people with Covid back into care homes would’ve been a good start.
Encouraging carers to live in where possible would’ve helped, too.
It wouldn’t have stopped all deaths, of course. That was never an option.
Again I'm sorry this falls apart under scrutiny.
1) Where would the elderly in hospital gone ? Stayed in Hospital ?
2) Carers moving in was looked at but most care homes wouldn't have had the capacity to house them.
Many full time carers were self isolating anyway and the homes brought in temp staff who moved it around.
There were so many structural challenges that the UK only had one option (under the circumstances it was under) which was to lock down quickly and track and trace.
However the government ****ed around deciding what to and chose their only option far too late.
I'd be amazed if any inquiry judges differently.
