As much as I think Hancock is useless I don't think this is on him.
Looks like he's going under the bus though, tough shit.

A man as tragic as Hancock finding himself in one of the most important positions in the country in the midst of a global pandemic is like the plot of a Mr Bean movie.

It's on Boris and his attempts to suck up to Modi for a trade deal

Hancock is still a useless c**t though

So by your logic, if England get thrashed in every game at the Euros, it’s not actually Southgate’s fault because Sam Allardyce might not have done any better

righto

They probably wouldn’t have spanked billions buying substandard PPE of their mates.
They probably wouldn’t have took track and trace of the NHS and given it to the wife of a Tory MP who’s track record is overseeing one of the biggest data breaches in history. Funnily enough it turned out to be crap and again cost billions.

Contrary to popular belief using the British state as a slush fund is actually only the MO of one of the main parties. The other may be naive or overreaching and out of touch, but it’s not set up entirely as a vehicle for corruption and theft from the tax payer.

Also: Wales.

This weeks the week then

If hospitalisations and deaths stay steady I think its game on.

They need to give us more info. What percentage of cases are people with No jab, 1 jab or 2 jabs?

Same for any hospitalisations.



You'd have a lot more backing of the public if it shows say 1 jab didn't give enough cover from being hospitalised

Bloody hope its good news. If we get through the end of this week and start of next week without hospitalisations increasing then we should be looking good. Was just looking at the stats and while cases have risen 49% in a week the number of tests conducted has dropped 23.4%. Bit surprised at that, would have through with the danger of the variant we'd be increasing testing if anything.

Timely reminder today that its not just the sick and old at risk. Someone I know who was early 40s and perfectly healthy had a positive test Friday and by Sunday was dead. Don't let your guard down, this really can get anyone.

I think he means what are the number of positive cases that are unvaccinated/1 jab/2 jabs. Same for hospitalisations.

I assume they're doing this analysis to understand effectiveness of vaccines, but don't think it's published anywhere?

Thats exactly what i mean.

If they release the data of how many people being hospitalised after one or 2 jabs then we can take a couple of weeks extra. The general public dont back the consensus of 'ooooo cases' anymore

It'll be bad for sales/ratings/clicks in some cases, but the economic upswing will be great for most outlets I would guess. Media execs will be delighted.

Scare sells. Just look at the scare mongers like Dr Hillary who will say anything to keep being on TV

Also helps that the Gov are currently the biggest advert buyers. So media are always going to play ball.
