"In 64 councils, the Conservatives won an average of 62% of the seats with the support of just 44% of the electorate. This is a shocking democratic deficit” (Compass director, Neal Lawson).

This deficit can be overcome on May 4th but only if progressive parties co-ordinate to allow the best placed party to win and only if we get out to vote and vote tactically -

#WearAMask

Fitted particle-filtering masks like N95s are up to 75 times more effective at preventing infection with COVID-19 than surgical masks

It will take 25 hours for an infectious dose of #COVID19 to transmit between people wearing non-fit-tested N95 respirators but if they're wearing a tightly sealed N95, they'll have 2,500 hours of protection.
