Family of woman with Down’s syndrome urges virus research

Tara Bostock, 51, from Barlestone in Leicestershire, died despite having self-isolated, her family said.

Research has found people with learning disabilities are more likely to die from Covid. According to Mencap – a charity based in the United Kingdom that works with people with learning disabilities, 80% of deaths of people with learning disabilities in England in the week up to 22 January were Covid-related. This shows that people with learning disabilities need to be vaccinated faster.
