You're still trying to wind it up to suit your politics then?
This can not truly be assessed until it has run its full course come back in 12 to 18 month then it can be scrutinised to the full extent who has done well and who has not.
If you want to start finger-pointing try looking at where this came from.

On 18th March he claimed we would be doing 100,000 tests per day within four weeks. Last week when challenged why he had failed to deliver this he not only failed to explain why but denied he'd ever said it in the first place (despite the journalist having the press release he himself put out).

Piers giving Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden a right old roasting over government handling of the coronavirus crisis this morning
My impression is that the NHS is doing well. I don't believe hospital admissions have across the board overwhelmed the service. They appear to have built up extra capacity well, that as I understand it hasn't yet been fully put through its paces. I believe PPE is stretched as are the resources, however I believe it seems to be holding up well. Through hard work, professionalism and dedication.

Is that you Mr Hancock?
Sorry I don't maintain a spreadsheet of every lie told by every Government minister.
I get that you want to hitch your wagon to the Government during a crisis as a comfort blanket, absolutely I do. Just don't be surprised if it turns out you've backed the wrong horse.
Yeah it's me. I know I should be busy writing the next set of promises i have no intention of keeping. But i prefer to spend my time fannying about on NSC. UTA.

You really are a massive hypocrite calling out others for following existing political lines over this. The government has been an absolute shambles in managing this for so many reasons, and here you are with your "but but it's ALL China's fault!". Jesus Christ.
Put bluntly, we know it came from China, it isn't a great leap of faith to imagine they lied over the scale of it. But given the situation as we knew it, this government was absolutely appalling for weeks. I feel sorry for people like Hancock who I would agree appears to be doing the job to the best of his ability, but Johnson has been dreadful. And where is he anyway? I got Covid myself, I know it takes a while to recover. But f**k me, he's been missing for weeks since leaving the ICU. He's meant to be running the country isn't he? I'd have thought even an hour or two of his time would have been possible last week. Is there a giant fridge at Chequers.
I can't shake the theory that Covid-19 was meant to be used to suppress the Hong Kong riots, but the Chinese bungled the release from the Wuhan Virology lab, and it got out prior to the planned seeding.

That's all well and good but that wouldn't explain why we are scraping around for PPE to the extent headline news last night was that we were awaiting a delivery from Turkey of all places!!! Several trusts had reported they were on the verge of running out over the weekend. Nor the fact that the government have seen fit to change the guidance on PPE including in some instances making some items supposedly reusable!! Now why would they do that if there was plenty of stock?

not so much lied than over-promised. the example of tests, they achieved test capacity of over 25k (though not tests for unexplained reasons) last week, but the 100k by the end of the this month looks unlikely. it was to include antibody testing and seems thats not as simple as being made out a couple of weeks ago.

if that's where the supplier is, that's where it will come from.

In response to repeated questioning around the lack the simple Covid-19 positive testing, we’ve been hearing for a month or two by smug Politicians and Scientists that actually, the test to prioritise is the antibody one. This is the ‘game-changer’ and they’ve ordered 3.5million of the buggers to get ahead of the game, wow they’re smart!
Sadly, these tests are not ready, the WHO has now said that the science behind these test’s might be flawed and we’re nowhere near the 100,000 per day tests that the government reassured we’d have in 10 days.

I only stated VERY CLEARLY, that the area my is daughter is working in , has good supplies of PPE at present.
You, clearly want an argument, and there are plenty on here you can do that with.

Morgan is a very high powered, strategically placed, privaliged man. Most of the people he gives a grilling to are his mates that he meets up with on the weekend! It's a very clever way of letting them get away with it. People go away thinking ahhh piers really gave them a good telling off but nothing changes
