[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 76127388, member: 234799"] The incompetence of the UK government in this regard is, as far as I am aware, well recognised in the UK. Given the problems the US has experienced with Covid and Trump (and the presence of an intervening ocean) I am not surprised this didn't attract the same level of attention in the US. Here is an extract from an item on the bmj website, [URL='https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1415'][I]Covid-19: Official figures “underestimate” deaths caused by discharging patients into care homes[/I][/URL][I]. [/I]I have emboldened the significant words.[I] The UK government has admitted that its policy during the early stages of the covid-19 pandemic to have patients moved from hospitals to care homes may have directly led to subsequent deaths. Outbreaks of the virus could potentially be linked to the policy, says a report from Public Health England (PHE),[URL='https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1415#ref-1']1[/URL] because [B]patients were not always tested for covid before being moved[/B], a requirement that was introduced only in mid-April last year. [/I] A link to the Public Health England report can be found on the website. [/QUOTE]
