Is it a coincidence that old people in care homes are dying in huge numbers in the UK and the US...

NO. NOPE. NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

It is reported today that at least 4000 people in care homes have died in the UK. Listening to TRMS yesterday the same is being repeated across the US and no-one is talking it about. So a Tory government who hates paying for social care, and a Republican government who hates paying for medicare, and many in this group are now dying or at risk of dying because of inaction.... gotta tell yah, coincidence is a complete and utter bollocks.

Their policy is to protect the herd and fuck the rest. They are horrific.

care for the elderly in the UK. I agree they are dying because of inaction, but that is because of narcissistic leadership and a weak opposition. Same in America.
