Why governments keep failing youtu.be/F3mcah3KPno?... Why have we failed to tackle climate change and so much else when we knew what had to be done? Could it be that vested interests are comfortable with the way things are, despite the consequences for most people and the planet?

"The argument put forward by the government, to justify the lack of #airborne mitigations, is that #Covid-19 is not ‘predominantly’ spread via the airborne route; they maintain that the ‘predominant’ mode of spread is through droplets and contact. This position now goes against the latest science."
