In 2020, I lost my husband to Covid. The pain has been unimaginable, but what is worse is the fear that his death could have been prevented – and, this week, hearing the government defend the very policy that may have killed him.
Bob and I had just taken a trip to Birmingham with our children to make the most of the government’s “eat out to help out” (EOTHO) scheme when he fell ill. I had been cautious about going, but Bob had absolute faith in the government – if they said it was safe to travel, it must be, he would say.
