I appreciate thar being a front-line Secretary of State is not the greatest job at the moment but I get the impression that some ministers who I won't name (Gove and Hancock) would not guess at answers to question. Hancock, in particular, seems to state things that should have happened rather than things that did happen.

Why does Europe always end up being the epicentre of things?
It doesn't. SARS, MERS, Ebola, all hardly touched Europe.

Really !!   He's been very clear with his messages, people have been ignoring his advice by socialising, go to the beach, gatherings in the park, bulk buying at the shops.
He hasn't. Just look back a few pages in this thread, people arguing whether they are OK to go to the pub.
My wife is a nurse and is currently in isolation as the family now is many because fucking idiots can't follow instructions and think they know better !
If they'd used the time in Jan/Feb to buy in PPE kits for health workers instead of fuck-arsing about and only getting round to ramping them up yesterday (according to Matt Hancock, Health Sec), maybe she wouldn't be. That doesn't excuse the fucking idiots, though. But the govt's complacency about this so far has been appalling. They've consistently been weeks behind the curve and missed opportunities to suppress it early, and that will cost thousands of lives

He corrected and then clarified the position regarding the transfer of U18's between separated parents that have duel custody.

He initially said it wasn't permitted but then confirmed it was in his next interview, as long as the usual condtions are followed.

A bit more than that wasn't it. He completely bumbled and blubbed his way along like the clueless idiot he is. It was a car crash from him.

God forbid fatalities don't eventually outnumber Spain or Italy's, but if so, the Govt is going to have a huge problem justifying this laissez-faire response. Especially, when you consider the advantage of being behind the curve and benefit of advanced advice/warnings.

 'Taking it on the chin' when you had every chance to avoid it, is going to be a really hard sell.

In Jan/Feb, they were too distracted by the approaching Brexit deadline to focus on anything else.  This is perhaps the most chilling example yet of the opportunity cost of Brexit - and the consequences of time & energy being diverted from what government should be focused on.
