Friend of mine posted the following on Facebook: Four reasons why people saying Boris is doing a good job are talking nonsense. Pretty much agree with all of this.
You can say that again. Why has there been such a delay in rolling out PPE and tests? The lack of preparation has been appalling. They knew this was coming. This was Matt Hancock TWO MONTHS ago:
Anyone watching Channel 4 news? Absolutely damning. NHS staff being made to work without protection, care homes waiting ten days for tests, Hancock absolutely squirming in interview when asked about why there are such long delays in delivering PPE and tests when they knew this was coming -...
Yeah I know. I think it woild be ok if you took the necessary precautions. That's why they want to roll this test out asap - so those people who have had it can return to a reasonably normal life and help those who are sick.
Agree. It's a balancing act. If it comes to a situation where I am definitely needed to help, I will. Food delivery is a concern at the moment. Not worth risking social visits, though. Can't doing anything at the moment anyway, as I am still isolating.

I have the same issue. I am 99% sure I have had it. If I knew I was now immune I could help others (including my older relatives). But I can't risk anything without being tested.

We are exactly two weeks behind Italy in terms of cases / deaths. They locked down the entire country on March 9. We have to lockdown the UK on Monday just to be NO WORSE than Italy.
They knew this was coming. They had months to prepare for it and did NOTHING (except pursue a bizarre policy...
Blood on his hands. We will be worse than Italy because of him. We are not even testing NOW ffs - and it's been proven this is the only way to stop it.
For all those people voting 'good', it was the government's blatant lack of preparation and pursuing the herd immunity policy that will results in thousands of unnecessary deaths. How can that be 'good'? Thousands of people will die because of his disregard for WHO advice and wasting weeks when...
