One rule for them, or just more lies?

Last Friday, Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and the UK's chief medical officer were all reported to ave been found to have tested positive for COVID-19.

All three went into isolation.

Yesterday, 6 days later, Hancock was back at work, delivering the daily briefing and then appearing on Question Time.

Today he opened the new "hospital" at the EXCEL Arena in London.

WHO guidelines, and ones from your GP is to isolate 14 days after symptoms disappear. Hancock re-entering public life after 6 days seems not to be in line with WTO, Government or medical guidelines.

Was he sick at all?

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but you do wonder.

And what of the previous Minster for Health, Jeremy Hunt, who received the report on Operation Cygnet, the pandemic drill from 2016 which recommended more PPE? He is now one of the leading online critics of Government policy, maybe he could explain why the report's recommendations were not implemented?

Johnson appeared to be filmed clapping NHS workers last night, despite being part of the Government that slashed spending, suppressed doctor's and nurses pay? He is said to still be infected, but maybe he's just chicken?

There is a target to expand testing to 100,000 per day by the end of the month, which is admirable. But too late. Why are we not at that figure now?

Just 2,000 NHS staff have been tested so far. 4 doctors have already died from COVID-19 infection, Hancock couldn't provide the number of nurses who have died.

We wouldn't send soldiers into battle without guns or ammunition, but we are happy to send doctors and nurses into work without equipment to keep them safe.

Shameful doesn't even cover it.
