It's worse than when he talks about economics.
Random lockdown sceptic with no relevant experience in a pandemic related field says don’t have lockdown. Sounds legit.
Massively agree on this, and spoke to a doctor recently who is completely disillusioned with it all. The profession seems to take a conveyor belt approach now, and you’ve got 10 minutes to get to the bottom of the problem.
I also wonder how much of it is the general public’s psyche as well - I remember watching a documentary called ‘The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs’ (not as exciting as it sounds!) many years back and he basically wanted to stop handing out prescriptions to everyone and instead look at tackling the root cause. Patients weren’t interested, they just wanted a quick 5 minute sob story about whatever and to be given some pills to sort it. Some got quite agitated and started to argue with the doctor about it.
Hancock of course blaming the scientists for not locking down sooner
We have an unhealthy, ageing population unfortunately
Not listened to him but will try to catch the ‘highlights’ at some point ! Let’s be honest nothing will ever be Hancock’s fault in his eyes ! There is an element of truth around that comment in relation to first wave looking at Sage minutes and recalling comments from Witty and Vallence in early/mid March. We were caught with our collective pants down
Ps Maybe some good news BSB, although early to say, even if they don’t relax all restrictions on 21 June, rumours they may still relax wedding limits. Fingers crossed for you and your missus
If you read his comments he comes across like he knew better than the scientists all along and wishes he had ‘pushed back’ sooner. Ian posted the link before on weddings, we’re desperate for just something we can plan either way for as we have a lot of payments for it coming due on the assumption of a normal ceremony
My gp practice is fabulous
You’ve got Hancock to thank for that*

I've found the standard of GPs has dropped massively in recent years. No idea if its related to workload or changes in pay & conditions but its nothing like it used to be.
For 18 years I had the same GP, he's been my parents GP and my Grandparents (on my Dads side) GP. He recognised you when you walked in and knew your family history.
Now I go to my surgery its pot luck of one from an ever changing line up of GPs. They have no clue of your history, to the point if you go in for a follow up appointment they've asked you to make they have no idea why you're there. Just seems to be get you in and out as quickly as possible and if they can give you a few pills even better.
I've got a few ongoing health issues, hopefully nothing major, but I'm at the point where I've looked into going private as even pre-covid getting anything sorted was a nightmare. Going private was pretty quickly ruled out when I saw the cost.
Dentistry is pretty farcical too, the way they are paid incentivises them to go for loads of routine check ups instead of bigger jobs because they count for the same pay as a single ‘block’.
we need to let it rip
We need to protect the vulnerable
we need to lockdown for 3 weeks to flatten the curve
we will be allowed to see family and friends at Christmas
we will vaccinate the elderly and vulnerable then we can get back to normality
we wont close schools as they aren't a vector
i could go on.
Changes all the fucking time people have had enough
Fair, but when even NHS trust bosses come out and say 'yep, vaccines working theres a slight uptick but nothing we wouldnt expect and barely any vaccinated people'......why are we even then discussing any delay to June 21st?
Don’t take your phone
Because it was only very short term data. It needs to show that it stays that way rather than jumping to conclusions straight off the bat. It'd be like Cov going 1-0 up in the first 10mins and then saying "well, that's this game won then."
As far as I can see the most vociferous voices claiming the date will be put back are the likes of you and Nick. Which seems to be based more on your own fear than evidence.
While other people with things such as cancer got ignored?
Built massive hospitals for COVID that didn't get used.
Of course, by saying this it isn't saying it is nothing to do with cuts to the NHS and the govt. Of course it is, also how everything was COVID, COVID, COVID.
If we stay in lockdown until the backlog is cleared it's going to be a good few years, probably not even my lifetime.

This may have finally broken the irony meter…
We've had the everyone back in the office shout from the 21st June. Freedom day my eye.
He obviously thinks that the poor are committed communists.I don’t even get it on his terms. Why wouldn’t I just keep the money?
Small, read absolutely nothing into it.Large company or a small private one? Can see the big firms having a heads up
