Criticism is mounting over how elderly people, particularly care home residents, were treated during the Covid-19 pandemic, with claims that they were treated as expendable when resources ran low. Commenters suggest this amounted to negligence approaching manslaughter, and are urging older voters to hold accountable the politicians they blame for decisions made during the crisis.

Why now: The UK Covid-19 Inquiry is renewing public anger over pandemic-era care home policies and government accountability.

• The Elderly were expendable, and they still are in this Country. Perhaps the Elderly should not vote for Politicians that will kill them the moment things get tough? Frankly this smells like 'manslaughter' to me.... # COVID19uk # COVID19INquiry # CareHomes # Pandemic · Lazarou · 1
