More bluster from Hancock.

Constant talk of ramping up testing and increased PPE yet nothing to show for it.

Talking about how much capacity we've got to make more PPE. Great, we might finally have enough just in time for when this virus hit six weeks ago.

Yeah but would you rather live in Italy.

Not been into a supermarket since the lockdown but was in boots yesterday getting some hay fever treatment and they had. Food, medicines and stuff like shampoo, deodorants, family planning only. All the isles with electrical goods, designer perfumes and gifts all cordoned off.

I like Hancock, comes across well, but weren't he talking about PPE weeks ago?

I know at work we have a turn around of about 2 days from a delivery to using a product, which would explain the lag with the sudden urge, but surely they could have got supply lines in place for the additional by now.

Unfortunately we make fuck all in this country now and Trump won’t let 3M distribute their medical grade face masks outside the US. So much for being at the front of the queue.

Why can't we make these masks ourselves? It's surely just layers of different material stitched together.

Depends which type you need. They are rated for their usage. We use them at work all the time. It is strange that we can get a supply but the government has a problem. OK we don't use as many as the NHS needs. But we have a constant supply.

I use FFP3 masks myself on a daily basis. They're a bit of material with a valve and a couple of straps, as long as you get the materials you could easily churn out a decent amount.

Quick Google has a N95 masks as an equivalent FFP2 with a surgical masks rated below that (I'm guessing that's because they don't seal around the face).

Sounds like a plan. Everyone needs to give someone else on here 5 of their contacts, then when we all have a list we neck a few cans and dial away. Good luck whoever gets to give The Lurker their contacts .

There will clearly be an Abdul, Leroy, Mohammed and a Mr. Wong. The 5th contact will be a bloke called Knuckles.

Yeah these ones apparently. I thought she meant the tablets at first when she said keep out of direct sunlight and joked “haha me or the tablets” and she looked dead serious and went “you, your skin will burn”.

Althoough this lockdown is making time distort it does seem like they've been talking about ramping up testing and PPE for weeks. When do we stop talking about it and actually do it?

He keeps talking about the TV ratings for his daily Coronavirus news conferences like it’s important and solely down to him being on. Maybe it’s because his approval rating is falling like a stone so he can’t talk about that. A complete narcissist.

It was a publicity stunt. The virus was already in the country weeks before when he was declaring the virus as the democrats new hoax. It was a classic case of locking the stable door after the horse had bolted.
