Hancock on full spin today

just posted donny, this is scandalous.

When pillock comes on I switch off. He must be one, if not, the worst Health Secretary this country has even had, and I'm not being political or Covid-19 inclined.

It is truly outrageous

No doubt Laura will ask question so he can hammer home the lies

I look forward to when they have to tell us in a few days,when R has gone above 1, that that isn't actually anything to be bothered about

Graph upon graph giving estimated numbers - WTF?

hancock was nicknamed peter pandemic on charlie brooker's antiviral wipe last night, it is well worth watching (bbc2).

people either side of handjob are complicit too. defending this garbage.

apologies, includes actual numbers too - well actual if you include "tests posted out"

Breaking news - old people die in old people's homes. Shocker!!!

"we don't think it's above 1", said with no confidence whatsoever

85% are privately owned
Fcuk all to do with the government but the plebs on here don't need an excuse to spout the same old bile on a daily basis

More breaking news, if you had an underlying health condition it means you were obviously going to die the next day anyway

Number of tests quoted but not number of people tested which tends to be about 60% lower

There wouldn't be a need for care homes if people could be arsed to look after their parents, rather than dumping them in these places

the world of corona this morning 2 weeks from eradicating  virus from London ,5 days after it was here for ever,now 8 hrs later R going back above one on average

keep quiet man and do yourself a favour.your showing yourself up.

Jucel the more important point is Hancock was saying the exact same exactly a month ago,it was repeated on the 23rd of April, it has been blatant lying all the way through,that is just wrong and not acceptable.

'jucel69', It would be nice if so, but it's never as simple as that eg elderly has no family/child/small family where children live far away and in work. Even then the elderly will be exposed to a higher risk regards Covid-19 eg in BAME community.

Had to laugh at the graph...Wales N.I and Scotland one straight flat line every English area well down with London the steepest decline walofs!

half the lies they tell arent true

What about the responsibility of the owners of these care homes?
Surely they should be taking the blame?

juce...the govt hijacked their ppe and redirected it to hospitals.

I was being slightly facetious but it is an easy and convenient option nowadays

Privately owned businesses should be responsible for their own ppe.
They are avarice bastards and don't give a fig about their clients

How? they had no ppe for one,both ppe and testing was for the NHS and no one else originally and only now masks (sheet ones) are advised for public.

The goverment official advice on the 12th of March was there was a "very unlikely risk to care homes"

The point still was the blatant lie on the 15th of APRIL.

I will bring the French care home thread up again if you want.

The ppe that care homes routinely ordered as part of their normal regime was re-routed to the hospitals..

take your pick from todays media.

London about to eradicate virus,uk as a whole going back over one
very few kids infected to 2 million plus
2 million og public had virus up to 25 million
R id crucial to R is basically meaningless
18% of 5 top 14 yr old s already been infected,nurse jenny just says no ,chance of kids catching it in school,

or to quote slater in fools and horses,we,re looking for a 7ft dwarf, aged between 16 and 70, thin set,stocky build,bald with a pony tail,wearing a hearing aid, with a guide dog,

well done the Irish lass!!!

I understand that but shouldn't they have been prepared in the first place?
Most people have been hammering the government for being under prepared
The owners of the nursing homes should be too
What's good for the goose .....

The government will never say its all safe to go out - they need a get out - they will continue to issue ambiguous advice knowing as each day passes more and more people will hit the streets!

I know how private nursing homes run.... On a decking shoestring to maximise profits

I would never defend those bastards

The planes will soon be taking off

you mightn't defend them Jucel,your preogative there, you certainly wouldn't have sent them out of hospital back into a care home UNTESTED though.

the irish lass's question about the border got the best backheel this season!!

That's the  individual doctors faults not the government
All I'm saying is everybody is quick to hammer the government for everything
The blame needs to be directed at others too

All patients are in the doctor's care

Dunno know about that Jucel,maybe there was a policy to free up as many hospital beds as possible,would that be plausible?

My sister is one of the very top people in the NHS so I'm privy to stuff that that would make your head spin

It was absolutely shocking and heads need to roll.
Very poor management and organisation

I believe that.

I bet when Hancock got this job he thought it would be a nice cushy number haha

SO,S NURSE JENNY  and she proves 2,3 times a week for 8 weeks she,s thick as foook,so the bar,s not set that high

2 of jenny,s golden nuggets today

R number,blah what r number who gives a foook
data out today 18% of all 5 to 14 yr olds have already had virus, nurse jenny 10 mins there,s very little chance of your  kids catching virus,

I think nurse jenny is a labour trojan horse

Instead he's been wheeled out every day and will be chief scapegoat once the dust settles

Juce169

Are you glad he hasn’t had a cushy number ?

Interesting fact, in Spain 20% of all infections are health workers.

That's an absolutely staggering figure, so they must have ppe problems galore!

Not got an opinion on it, but normally health minister is a pretty easy position in the UK
Instead he's the world on his shoulders

Over 100 doctors died in Italy in a month.
All that experience and know how just gone

if the torygraph egged on by alister heath,think a city with a population of over 10 million are about to eradicate the virus,and witty and vallance said at 4 today R has gone up and maybe 1,that must mean there,s hotspots that are well over 1

With you adding ha ha to the end of your post you sounded pleased.
