Wish him a speedy recovery etc. But this is just a manifestation of how poorly his government has handled this whole thing. https://twitter.com/liamyoung/status/1243500667429441536
The Tories failed to prperare for a flu-type pandemic despite very clear warnings. But forget all that, let's blame people for wanting to go out and get a bit of fresh air. https://twitter.com/Marsh4LL1/status/1240244584678150145?s=19
Just hearing of this UK Gov "missed email deadline" story. https://twitter.com/Marsh4LL1/status/1240244584678150145?s=19

Here's a great thread on the UK Gov ducking and diving over testing. We don't have the capacity to test and trace (a la S.Korea) but the Gov will do anything but own up. So we'll be on lockdown for a long long time as there isn't really an alternative. https://twitter.com/michaeljswalker/status/1245670787270483970?s=19
