Five Weeks Of Lies
For five weeks now Matt Hancock has insisted that there wasn't a shortage of PPE, nearly every hospital and care home in the country was saying there was, he also insisted that it was a logistical problem only, and that was with 20 thousand army personal drivers ready to deliver. When the army joined us, we were told, this is what the army are brilliant at ( logistics ) ?
Today he says he wished he had a magic wand to produce PPE. When will Mr Hancock face up to the fact that the UK was oh so slow off the starting block, and the cost of that, was peoples lives, especially NHS lives. When will he start telling the truth, ( never).
They've also been telling us that we don't need to wear a face mask,(now their thinking about it), but waiting for the science to tell them. Common sense tells me that face masks can help stop the spread of the virus, if they didn't, then the rest of the world wouldn't be wearing them, or nurses wearing them in hospital or care homes, ( when they can get them) We all know about the top of the range mask that they need to wear in ITC, but the rest of the nurses are wearing bog standard face masks.
There are now UK manufactures pulling out all the stops to produce PPE, they say they have be ignored by Matt Hancock for weeks now, even after making it known to him that they could make what was required. How many more lives need to be lost before they supply the nation with face masks like every other country is doing.
I've changed my mind about Mr Hancock,( give someone a chance to get sorted,) he's had five weeks, and all we've had is five weeks of lies. Whatever advice he or the government give out, I for one will take with a pinch of salt, and do my own thing.

teacake is definitely a gloom and doom merchant, as I have opined before, BUT I don't like Matt Hancock and don't think he's up to the job, so I agree with him here (for a change).

I think it may have been a gamble Hancock's team had to take, Teacake if we, like other countries, were desperate for the testing kits, perhaps under pressure . If we hadn't bought them we may have missed the boat as some other mug would have snapped them up. Maybe he was acting on advice from the medical professionals. We may not know all these things until much later.
>these people are supposed to be educated and be able to step up at whatever hits us,
The same could be said for the medical professionals advising the government.
And there are some very educated people who have totally opposite views on what should have been done- some saying we didn't lock down anywhere near early enough, others saying we should have kept everything open and gone for herd immunity. It's the same with their views on masks, although most experts seemed to be against them but some are now bit more open minded

We've been over that on other threads, Theland. I'm sure that will be covered by the enquiry but some involved have said Cygnet was based on a flu epidemic and was not comparable. But how do we know we haven't adapted some of the ideas. The Chancellor's plans for example were developed really quickly and may have been already prepared in outline
Until there is a vaccine, I think everyone will inevitably catch this at some point whether they're wearing PPE or not unless they can literally never leave their house or come into contact with anyone else indefinitely.
The lockdown thing has always been about making sure that we don't all catch it at the same time and overload the system. It's not going to mean that you never catch it.
Sorry if that sounds depressing. The good news is that the majority of people that catch it do survive.
