Meer ruimte voor fietsers. Berlijn doet het. Maakt fietsen in tijden van #CoronaCrisis veel en veel veiliger. IJzersterke voorbeelden dit. Kom op Rotterdam. (En andere Nederlandse steden.)

100 manufacturers of PPE have said they offered to make all the PPE necessary 4 weeks ago. The Govt ignored their offer. They were trying to source PPE through big name "friends". That's the trouble with lying at the first briefing. You just have to keep on lying at them all.
