National Covid Memorial Wall In London
A young woman looks at the National Covid Memorial Wall on the south bank footpath of the River Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament in London, England, on October 12, 2021. The wall, created this spring, consists of more than 150,000 painted hearts, each representing one life lost in the country to covid-19. Today meanwhile saw the publication of the 'Coronavirus: lessons learned to date' report from MPs on the Health and Social Care and Science and Technology Committees, which sharply criticises the government's approach to managing the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic, but also highlights successes including the country's mass vaccination programme.
