Nevermind the Queen is on at 8.
Any requests I'd like Radio Gaga

yep the isolation period is 7 days..
it really is not about anything other than blind loyalty for some.
if Hancock was labour and saying and doing the exact same youd be a fanboy..

I like what you done there with " Hancock 's half hour "

You can be infectious for a long time after..

No they Don't!

The recommended isolation period for someone with coronavirus symptoms is 7 days.

Anyone in the household or anyone who who has been in contact with them needs to isolate for 14 days.

Hancock has done everything recommended by health officials.

lucky. ? ...he had corona virus and got tested ffs .. you do realise all these FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND positive cases were not found by luck ? and the reason we know they have it is because the majority had symptoms and then they TESTED positive...

I thought that only people in hospital have been tested?

And "important" people like government ministers and Prince Charles.

And "really important" people like Idris Elba who obviously managed to buy a test from somewhere so he could share his suffering with us

Correct.
My wife had symptoms - advised 7 days.
I lived in house - advised 14 days.

You can be infectious for at least 8 days, after
That's, passing the disease on to some other poor b*stard.
Boris has just been taken to hospital 10 days after
Never mind the politics let's hope he recovers

I have given this thread 10 days or more now to see how Matt Hancock has gone about his job and listen to what's said .

The guy is full of broken promises - Targets not hit which he has set - Told certain people to take a pay cut,while he and others carry on with full pay ( most MP's not in work till next week ) - Not open and honest on PPE and Test:Test:Test ( WHO ).
Overlooked Care Homes until SKY got on to him - Avoids adding Care Home deaths or getting better dater...the list goes on!!

The guy was in charge of my department of work only a few years ago - now NHS . I Know this is a tough department but there must be a better person or maybe the fault lies with a lack of stock from the start and what he has done since .

To be fair to him, I think whoever was there would struggle. If he told the truth, he’d probably be out of a job..

I agree. He’s struggling, but so would anyone in his position.

What’s nauseating tho’ are these snivelling Labour politicians demanding an Exit strategy. Pathetic.

If Politicians can’t come up with good ideas on both sides, they should shut the f**k up.

So what exactly is wrong with the opposition, whoever they are, asking the government what their plans are for coming out of this crisis whenever that happens to be ?

That's the question most of us, and business leaders, are asking so that people can prepare/plan.

You’ve pretty much answered it... whenever that happens to be. Usually when the contagion factor <1. I don’t see a different answer the Govt can give. They can set targets that the opposition then use to gain political points.., and that’s all it is.

Maybe the opposition(whoever they are) could tell us how they would handle it better.

I’ve been waiting for the last line of your post to be answered too.

But you're not reading what the opposition have asked for.

They've asked for an outline plan of how measures would be lifted NOT when.

Perfectly sensible for everyone to start planning for that as one thing is for sure; we won't go back to being completely normal in one big hit. This will be a staged approach and the sooner industry and organisations have an idea of how this will work the quicker they can plan and the sooner they will be able to get back up to speed if/when they are allowed to.

As I said, perfectly acceptable for those questions to be asked and for ALL opposition parties then have an opportunity to give their input as the government has suggested they will (Boris actually invited Starmer to regular briefings before he got ill).

No point in the opposition putting out plans first as they don't have the power to implement, all they can do is seek to influence/improve government plans once they know what they are.

Really don't see the issue with this.

as questions go , considering it a new virus and once in a life time situation its a pretty stupid question . things are changing by the day mate, someone ought to inform him, buy him a TV, teach him to read/think...
and lets be honest any answer would be wrong to some people .... this bloke by doing this now has clarified that is their stance to anyone that thinks otherwise...

An outline plan.. so, Keir Starmer is sitting there with this plan. What happens next?

I think unless he’s got something to offer, all he becomes is a bit of background noise. So if he has got some good ideas, are you suggesting they are being withheld? Otherwise he’s just wasting time.

its a constantly changing situation mate.. and no doubt figures of deaths/cases at any given point along with what other countries have had success with or haven't will all be taken into account along with possibly drugs maybe coming into play..
the only reason s anyone could be shouting they want an exit strategy now is either because they are a total idiot, or in the hope someone will say something to be attacked when things might have changed in the coming days/weeks ..
either way it crap...

Sums up this exit strategy situation perfectly in my opinion because as you say this situation changes almost daily as our scientists learn more and more about this virus. What could work today as an exit strategy may not work tomorrow and could be proved totally wrong in a month. Kier Starmer is playing the political masterbation game by calling for an exit strategy today, it may make him feel better, that he is doing his job but the reality is he is being irresponsible for the reasons you highlight.

I find this whole let's criticise the government at every opportunity frustrating. Boris Johnson said at the start of the lockdown the plan was to STAY HOME, PROTECT THE NHS and SAVE LIVES. As the daily briefings are showing this plan HAS stopped our NHS being overrun and the very worst thing we could do is relax this policy WITHOUT being absolutely sure the timing is right.

Get this wrong and we could get a second and more lethal wave of infections together with a further, maybe longer, period of lockdown. I say we ALL need to support the government and stay at home until they believe we can start the process of gradually coming out of lockdown.

personally I believe our government have got quite a lot wrong but looking around so have every other government in Europe...how can you not..?
to be trying to line up political points on the back of this is poor though... and tbh I was hoping for better from this Starmer fella..

He does seems a bit of a rabbit in the headlights at the moment, but I think there’s still huge divides within Labour which looks in a mess.

2 Days later and Mr Hancock has now come up with another 2 gems the first with the NHS -

Medical staff have been advised to reuse personal protective equipment and wear plastic aprons with coveralls, rather than the full-length gowns, if stocks in England run low.

Unions representing doctors and nurses have expressed concerns about the updated Public Health England guidance.

There have been warnings some hospitals could run out of the gowns used in intensive care units this weekend.

The government said it is working to provide the PPE stocks hospitals need.

The 2nd was when asked by J.Hunt - Hancock went to say we are not in a Lockdown - it's a lockstep ??
So i have never come across this word - so i looked it up ( oxford dictionaries - found these meanings )

​a way of walking together where people move their feet at the same time
in lockstep (with somebody) The coffin was carried by six soldiers walking in lockstep.
(figurative) Politicians and the media are marching in lockstep on this issue (= they agree).

​a situation where things happen at the same time or change at the same rate
a lockstep approach to teaching
in lockstep (with something) Cases of breathing difficulties increase in lockstep with air pollution.

Then there was the promise he made at the start of 100,000 test by the end of April - Good Luck with that One -
And just to Balance this out Welsh Labour said they would do 5,000 tests a day - No where near that target either .

Hancock the health sec,' was on the Mndrew Marr show sitting 2 metres away from Marr.
.However,he's come out of self isolation after just 7 days. The bloke is a jerk.
Nevermind the Queen is on at 8.
Any requests I'd like Radio Gaga

I would love to see you do his job right now

What has happened to his 100,000 test a day by April - he promised ??
That's a target he set - his job he does right now !!!

He said the end of April..

He said the end of April..

its a massive ask mate and if you put figures out there you will have people ready to hold you to those figures...
100k seems out of reach now and to be honest looked even further out of reach when he said it..
hope im wrong about this..
