The Health Secretary says production companies must start producing more ventilators.
He also said details of emergency laws will be revealed on Tuesday, and the bill itself will be published on Thursday.

PLANDEMIC …WHY TURN OFF COMMENTS ON LAST 2 POST ANOUT NEW LOCKDOWN WE DONT WANT A NEW LOCKDOWN .
Why are the comments turned off on the last 2 vids ….
Clues in the name han COCK
Mat needs a slap with a hand he’s a cock
First 4 seconds. Who is Matt HanCORK?
This guy is just a tool
Nothing will change with the corrupt NHS….the working class elderly will be first to die if ventilation is at a premium in favour of the upper classes…another post code NHS lottery will be brushed under the carpet?
Mat wash ur hands u cock
Now, I hope many will indeed understand the experiences of the animals slaughted for their meat we eat, cloths we don and jewelry we wear…
When the smoke clears…
The irony..
Of the contrary will occur…?
Great questions🙄
Yet another NITWIT.
problem of Ventilator !!
5,000 for the whole of the U.K? And right now they can’t buy any and neither can the rest of the world? That is bad news. New York State has 3,000 and less than 20% of that number are actually available. People are going to die no question about it.
I’m sure I washed my hands before it was a trend.
I bet the Queen would do something if she had a political voice
Send the medical bill to China . They are responsible for all this they should pay with money or their lives
This people not really matter if is sick our not not stay in home I m ready worry this incompetent governments
Just be honest your not prepared that why your taking your time
He can’t guarantee anything!
Such a lier I don’t trust any of them now he’s already been caught out before
What a melt
I get the feeling we being fobbed off why are we so behind 😷🤒😱
NOT YET????? WTF….
Matt just said its absolutey essential to wash your hands while singing happy birthday!
When will the PM put health over economy??
Interesting. I hear this in my country and others, we need more this and that, theres not enough room in hospitals.. After all these weeks since the outbreak they still act as if they didnt learn, didnt prepare and had no clue this could/would happen in their countrys? How many epidemics of infectious deseases the world has known so far and still they are acting surprisingly unprepared?? Something doesnt make any sense..
5:44 I don’t know this men but i belive that he is right in this point… Edit: That’s the english health secretary… That’s depressing😣😣😣
imagine other countries did the same as the UK… wanting the population to get infected with the Virus… the whole world it’s at risk and this fools don’t close nothing… GYMS SCHOOLS etc etc
can’t trust a geezer with that hairline
I don’t see how ventilators will save the elderly folk? it feels like a mass cull.
This man has no idea what hes talking about
“My number 1 task is to save people’s lives”
Big fat lie, we need actions not words.
January:” the NHS is well prepared to handle this type of outbreaks”
March: “wash your hands, not enough beds or ventilators, a big challenge for the country”
WTF liars
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Over 80.000 people have died this yr alone from the common flu. Wake up people…this is all about state control of the masses…a means to an end. The end being …. ?? 😷😷😷
Yes just wash ur hands and everything will be fine these ppl aren’t doing anything to help the British ppl they are only thinking about money. Look at all the other countries and what they are doing and what we’re doing. I don’t blame people for taking responsibility for themselves and their families. The only thing I hate are the greedy ppl that are buying things and selling them at ridiculous prices on the Internet.
He’s a blithering idiot!
we need more ATMA we need more PRANA yes we need the colony to save us maharishi ayur veda and tm.org PM Modi and prince charles opened a ayur veda research institute in england because britishers dont beleive research done in india it has 4 scientific ayur veda journals 100 ayur evda colleges anglicans had closed some 400 000 vaidya who also need tm..org and AYUSH ministry

yes health is notunderstaandable in the english language health is svastha wellbeing is svasti
2:23 I still don’t get it. Is this an inside joke with singing happy birthday? Is it a British joke?
@The Rub Thanks. Finally it makes sense.
It is to encourage people to wash their hands for an extended amount of time, as opposed to quickly running them under the tap
cue the circus clown music
Massive cover up going on..spoke to an NHS worker on the front line..apparently thousands of people are f**ked and they don’t even though the clocks against us!..Doh!!
At this very moment my wife is suffering in terrible agony from unknown virus, but yes, we are not calling for help and not testing. We managed to drop temperature with paracetamol from 38.5+ to 37.4
Stay at home and don’t call 111, this is the advice that I received and the reason for low number
Nothing to see, I’m just here of your behalf, please stay put, its all for your best because we’re very concerend about your well beeing so please close the door and dont come out again. Thanks your loving Goverment.
Has anyone recorded how many men compared to women have died around the world? If not, why not?

Buy hair dryers instead…
Do people understand that this Coronavirus will most likely mutate, grow and become stronger?
It is highly likely that if we cannot stop or ultimately get rid of this Coronavirus within the general population, it may mutate and become something else entirely over time.
We are potentially experiencing the effects of the infancy stage of this new Coronavirus.
The longer we delay total global lockdown, the more millions of people may potentially die within the next 6-12 months.
We currently do not have a vaccine or cure, nor a plan and the ability to deal with the consequences of this potential threat to human life on earth.
I hope I’m wrong.
That host is incredibly irritating, constantly fishing for a sound bite with things she knows can’t be guaranteed, rather than conduct an informal interview.
If she wanted to address a legitimate concern, ask hand much hand washing helps in a crowded place such as public transport at rush hour. Or what can be done to decrease the spread without stopping all daily activities.
As a Londoner I fear this is currently exploding underground (no pun intended) and we’re in for quite a shock when it reaches the surface, a big shock.
He’s saying he is following his advice from his scientist, so they have someone to blame when it goes wrong.
If Matt Hancock let’s my dad die from this virus I’m gonna strangle him
What does “the right thing at the right time” even mean?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
5k available or some of them already in use?
I bet most in use
Ik washing hands can prevent it but… Q:we could inhale it from the atmosphere?
The fact that the UK was ready to allow 40 million people to get infected knowing full well that if the death rate is only at 1% it would mean 400000 deaths! In addition to this, Matt Hancock lied! Only 40,279 people were tested in the UK, less than many other countries, forcing the UK government now to admit that the number of infected people is between 6000 to 10000, much higher than the official number of 1400. This government should have taken this way more serious but they are too concerned about the economy.
BS… They are going for herd immunity
Well after 10 years of Austerity I bet that not all the N.H.S needs
I didn’t get listened to when I recently …for the first time in my life, had an upper respiratory infection with the exact symptoms of Covid19. NO test was taken at the so called time of containment. I do not believe this government based on my experience recently. I had to take my 94 year old dad to A&E with internal bleeding and pneumonia. I refused to take him home 1 day later because no-one answered my questions. He is now about to be CT scanned because of fluid on his lungs, still no test done for Covid 19. He too had all the symptoms. Thankfully we are both very robust characters. Now he will be told to self isolate. Trash, maybe we should both go around coughing on politicians
We need toilet paper to clean up all the bullshit being spread from Hand-Cock the Government Ventilator
Everything in Berlin is closing how can he say that the UK’s approach is similar to Germany?!!!!!
Matty Hancock my favorite stand-up comic
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She went to town on him…stutter,stutter..
We know what to do it’s government need to think what can be done before time goes Or are we waiting for London to become another wuhan,?
I will predict that Matt Hancock will resign in the next few weeks…..along with so called UK scientific advisors
Expect resignations, lots of hand washing and apologies in the next months.
Matt handcock is not human.
This complete idiot will lose his job over that. I only hear “at the right time”. The right time was yesterday
Why didnt the UK buy more ventilators weeks ago?……they knew what was happening in the world, its unbeliveable. Asking a digger manufacturer to make complex medical equipment is shocking
All of a sudden he starts to stammer????
What is he talking about? Cases have gone down? Is he even looking at them? The numbers have increased every single day
Talking about actions when completely avoiding taking any actions
Nobody is mentioning that the face has three points of entrance, the eyes , the nose, the mouth are the parts most exposed to the virus.
britain fucked up and will pay a heavy price, and by the way i don’t trust the figures coming out of brittain.
Just now they are focused on producing ventilators?
Mistake after mistake after mistake….this government has shown no leadership or proper informative direction to the people of this country. They buried their heads in the sand hoping the virus would go away and still after all the infections and deaths around the world and in europe this government has yet to instigate a proper plan other than singing happy birthday while we wash our hands.
Anything they decide to do now will be 6 weeks too late. They left all the entry points open far too long – coz money – and allowed big events to go on too long – coz money – ………..
the government and food retail industry should have got a grip on the panic buying, and the easiest way to do that is signs at the front of supermarkets telling customers what they can buy and in what quantities. And i can’t really blame people for going bonkers and panicking because the lack of up to date information from the government has been terrible, and Boris telling everyone ‘yes we’re all going to loose loved ones’ didn’t exactly calm the situation.
the NHS has been an utter shambles for 20 years now, and it has taken a global health crisis for the government to realise ‘we can’t cope’…….If anything good comes out after this is over I hope that it is the NHS is made a priority for investment and proper running – too many cheap private companies making buckets of cash but offering minimum service, far too many over paid managers wasting public cash each and every year, and too many hospital staff being poorly paid – over worked – and made to use poorly maintained equipment.
After this the NHS should be returned to the glorious institution it once was, no excuses, no profiting from peoples sickness, and no massive shortages like we are going through now.
i seen it coming in January and now the torys are in a flap what a joke there reactive response will result in a lot of death proactive is needed with pandemics
based on the science even though they aren’t testing people, do they think we are thick.
I am over 60 and have COPD. I had blood clots on my lungs 20 years ago which left me with 25% less lung capacity and other complications. So I’m guessing I could be (sadly?) in line to die in this outbreak. 2 weeks ago they stopped my (so-called) ‘lifetime’ award for disability living allowance & gave me PIP instead with a cut of £100 a month, because they didn’t award me the ‘care’ component I was getting on DLA (despite clearly qualifying if only all the ‘evidence’ had been taken into consideration).
How ironic that I should lose the ‘care’ component. It basically sums up the problem with more than 10 years of austerity. The medical evidence cares – the government don’t.
So anyway, I did the ‘statutory appeal’ & then rang the DWP PIP center last week to make sure they had received my appeal forms. I was informed that there was a huge backlog and that any appeals would be delayed.
Don’t be fooled. The Government are STILL cutting the support for disabled and vulnerable people in the midst of this pandemic.
I was onto the pandemic in January, and I’m already self-isolating because I feel they would actually like some of us to just die, so we don’t ‘cost’ so much.
After all – a million fewer claiming pensions and benefits will save the country tens of billions, if all this is just being led by the ‘numbers’? This is certainly going to be a test of how much our society ‘cares’ and sadly it’s not looking good from where I’m sitting.
terrifying ..
Government has done NOTHING – Say goodbye to Granny ! oh and anyone with asthma
Absolutely TERRIBLE, I agree
Hancock has already been caught lying, can’t trust a word he says
INTERESTING MIX OF ARROGANCE AND, AS TYPICAL OF THIS CULTURE, OF TAKING CREDIT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET – RESPONSE? THIS HAS TO INVOLVE A LOCK DOWN AND SOON BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE, RATHER THAN SAYING “THE UK DOES NOT COPY ITALY”. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ABOUT COPYING/NOT COPYING.
what is this…..chat rubbish get paid??
Reminds me of a line from V for vendetta. “they need to understand why they need us”
Sensible precautions are fine but government is now planning lockdowns. OTT!
The medicines side effects will be worse than the original disease.
We can’t even produce enough sodding hand gel. What hope for ventilators.
Pa-pa-public…
UK is too politically correct to do a travel ban. Good luck on that..
Certainty not enough to vote for Brexit
UK is going to become wuhan 3.0 within the next 3 weeks thanks to bojo’s lack of action…….r.i.p UK !
10:00 he is making it as he goes along. Clueless! The sporting events being cancelled ? The sport governing bodies decided that ,not the government.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💗
I made the biggest mistake voting for boris. Oh loved one will die ? Right all the other countries say let’s help everyone not to get this virus …. but the uk want most of us to get it to have an immune to the virus .
I think after this Epidermic lots of people will vote against boris after this failure of this government
Hey ! Face mask is much more useful than just washing hands ! At least he should tell people this than doing nothing !
Matt Hancock sold his soul . . . . .
He’s panicking.
We need less migrants.
Joe Blogs looking at a scientific paper 😂😂😂😂😂”Yeah, why haven’t we been shown the research!!” Maybe the government should get the cast of Love Island to explain the finer details.
5:43
😂😂😂
We are being told that the UK is adopting the right approach so why do we already have one of the highest death rate ratios of those confirmed infected cases compared to most other countries.
uk is trash
Uk: HERD IMMUNITY!
Also Uk: We are out of stuff
THEY DON’T PUBLISH THE MODELLNG BECAUSE THERE IS NONE LMAO ZERO .. NO LOGIC NO SCIENCE LMAO
How realistic is it for manufacturing industries to suddenly switch to making ventilators, hope I am wrong but I just don’t see it. Seems more a case of politicians making these statements to make it look like they are doing something when in reality it’s just a lead of hot air !
Shouldn’t the British government be preparing all the ventilators since January if they are trying to rely on herd immunity? Can they actually explain what they have done during the previous two months since the breakout in Asian countries? The government’s recent actions and speeches really make me wonder whether UK is a ‘developed’ country or not……
after watching And Listening to matt “God Help us..
Anyone else hear between the words, that as the cases flood in, food will be rationed and people will be forceably quarantined? Because that’s what’s coming. Ever wondered why in nearly every news panel discussing Covid-19 ,that there are behavioural psychologists involved?
UK IS THE ONLY 3RD WORLD COUNTRY IN EUROPE. !
Matt Hancock is a bloody ventilator himself. He’s full of hot air.
Heavens above,what about special covid19 uniforms for the cops so we the people can see them coming…
1. This virus has a long latency period and people can be completely asymptomatic
2. We only test people who are hospitalized
3 mass gatherings are still fine, we just need to make sure the people who are infected stay home
4. 🙈🙉
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The UK government will be paying each family £100 every single day if they stay at home
It’s Sunday, time to sit down and relax…
Human rights and herd !Immunity (right to life)..
wash hands and then go breathe it on everyone…
We can’t source the equipment because of supply issues and competing countries. Heads will roll after this and an emphasis on Health should be front and centre of civilised life and yes I’d be more than willing to pay for it via my payslip. The evils of 2008 and the maniacal cuts done with glee will haunt this country for a long time.
“We don’t make guarantees in healthcare”. Very telling.
Keep calm and panic
I want a BMW ventilator.
Note that these people have _servants_ so they couldn’t be bothered
Let Westminster develop ‘herd immunity’ first.
This just shows how the Br1tish ol1g4rchy will rather have old people d13 off than lose few £. Note how Ireland can see it’s an exponential curve so everything is under lockdown.
The objection should be prevention
What’s the point about keep going on about ventilators when we already know we don’t have enough ! The minister already addressed the point on production of essential equipment!
its better to regret doing too much than regret doing too little.
Can the government take people’s advice? How can they reach out to people ? I have good advice, but who to talk to?
I supppse in a few days or weeks down the line, there going to probably blame they lack of ventilators on muslims
This guy is fumbling, four word strategy plan meant nothing and only a fool has blind trust!
Apart from needing more and a whole lot more ventilators, that dude has not a clue as to what to do to tackle this virus thing. So pathetic!
It appears this dude and his few “experts” are the only people that chose not to watch the videos posted by Dr. John Campbell.
The INaction plan. Utterly incompetent
Why do we never hear from the family and friends among loved ones who have passed away from the virus?? We just hear numbers and locations, nothing more smh
What will be in UK on the next 2-3 weeks?
Why havent our governments done something about this sooner?They ve known for over 2 months now that masks PPE oxygen and ventilators would be needed soon…why didnt they act proactively ?
Too many medical experts commenting on here, don’t forget Labour were in agreement with these policies until they think they can make political gain, Nandy and the like. Don’t forget the Labour Party was paramount in reducing the number of beds availailable and selling off parts of the NHS.
Two people I know have this virus and both in there 20s and in intensive care one is touch and go, one is in recovery but has been coughing up blood he said it is the worse thing he has ever been thru in his life. He said it has been like breathing thru a straw, and lungs feel like there are being crushed.
Gosh, I hope they will recover soon. Sending my best wishes
Its been said over 70s MAY IN THE FUTURE have to isolate – Can we name ONE THING THATS BEEN ACTIONED (not spoken about) THIS GOVT HAS DONE TO SAVE LIVES
God bless UK from Taiwan. Taiwan is safe and sound
still in denial, go on youtube and type China and try to find a single person without mask, it is like finding wally except there is no wally.
Why can’t ever one come together and work for the greater good of there fellow man stop panic buying bring back the common sense thinking like they did in the 2nd world war Britain…
They should of played R.E.M It’s the end of the world as we know it, at the end of the interview.
I leave the interview very worried for Britain
Great Sophy Ridge
Whats going on here? These twats dont care about citizens safety All these posh government twats care about is money.. they don’t want to lock down and close schools etc because it’ll cost them money and productivity.. most of them have private healthcare and their spawn go to private schools.. the uk working class are the guinea pigs in this experiment…
The virus not working acording your since why u thing u safe stop play with people lives
Can we have some clarity on how many sufferers actually need ventilated?? Surely its a small percent with only very severe symptoms?? This idiot is making it sound like “ventilation” is the normal course of treatment. He is adding to the confusion and panic with his statements!!! 😠
I have a co worker who is coming from Spain after holding, HO can guarantee that she will not come back at work on Monday, I ask about that my boss , he start to laff at me my colleges also 🙄
We work in a small food factory with 30 people per shift, and for the most of them this is a big joke, it’s a joke also for the government too
I just can’t believe how stupid and ignorant the people are sometimes
After this is over. We the British people need to force this government out.
No we need to force the Chinese government out. Stop with their insane communism, wet food markets, lack of animal welfare and lack of sanitisation.
*We need more genuine Love on earth right now!*
My employees have said if anyone self isolates for a week they will not
give us sick pay without a doctors note, the doctors say we can’t even
pick up a sick note, my employees suggest all we can do is to apply to
the department of work and pensions put a claim in and in a few weeks
(if lucky) we will get £76 a week, THAT DOESN’T EVEN COVER MY RENT, so
people with symptoms will go to work and spread any infection or virus
they have to the vulnerable, I’m a support/care worker working full-time
on minimum wage for a company on the Fylde Coast
This government is insane!!!!!!!!
So the rest of the world is wrong
I’m confused. Do they mean “Happy Birthday” by Altered Images or Stevie Wonder?
Somebody pleaseeee can explain to me..
He said that’s the task, to REDUCE the spread of the virus..
But at same time government doesn’t stop to talk abou HERD IMMUNITY what means exactly the opposite.
Is it just me or it’s now happening exactly the same that happened with Brexit.. They are messing up the information to a point of non possible understanding 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😤
I’m sorry but this is not about economy or do in or out.. This is PEOPLE’S LIFE’S
The Government isnt doing anything to protect the people. Pathetic response
I 👍 England
Tory party incompetence is beyond a joke at this point
I don’t understand why the media is so insistent upon the government for advice and direction and therefore is so quick to throw blame. Then again, it’s the MEDIA which is ONLY self serving. (I’ve answered my own question/frustration. . . .)
ANYONE, EVERYONE, who saw China trying to make a Hospital in 5 DAYS, should have IMMEDIATELY realized that this was BEYOND serious, BEYOND critical! (Yes, I’m yelling here!)
China doesn’t want to lose a cent, a penny to anyone or anything, period. For them to take such drastic measures told me EVERYTHING! (Thanks to the media for bringing it to my attention . . .)
China caused all of this with their wet food markets and lack of sanitisation. Along with their lack of free speech they are totally not to be admired or take an example from. The west will deal with this like it always does.
How do they know if the spread is slower if they are not testing?
This government is so out of touch, get the eton boys club out… Action plan my arse, more like culling plan.
Does the health minister have a clue about the virus he actually gives no advice at all that is creditable
We all have to sing “Happy Birthday” and wash our hands? “Ring-a-Ring-O’Roses” may be a better song!
Is she saying “Hancork” because she doesn’t want to say “cock”?
“Matt Hancork”
Plonker
Should be more thought put into healthcare?
Dad’s army response from the government is not inspiring confidence. They are wasting their time giving interviews to media. Communication to public is vague and unclear. We don’t want to be watching these interviews to find out what government’s plans are. Key. People are wasting their time giving these interviews rather than planning. Media has also not woken up to the situation and support rather than interrogate. Words words and words only and empty slogans from the governing politicians. No cohesive and well coordinated effort. Cobra style meetings is not the correct approach. This is not like a war.
Some people haven’t washed their hands since they were born!
Thé plague of incompetence of this government simply takes your breath away
What’s happened is, they were prepared to let people die and let the virus run through, but got called out by other countries and world health scientists, sport shut itself down, they now are between a rock and a hard place…half in and half out….they have been a disgrace and will be in trouble once this is over.
6000 ventilators for 60 milion people? So 10.000 people can share one ventilator.
Bunch of idiots lead by the king idiot Boris.
17 minutes of BS!
Matt Hancock Comedian haha
I suppose when this crisis is over the Chinese will go back to eating bats, pangolin and anything else that moves so here’s to the next epidemic.
.
Another useless inept lying Tory Minister of the Crown, well there is a surprise not!
Surprise would be if there were an apt non-lying ToryMinister of the Crown.
Dream on dream – on only five more years of these Tory Toffs Taking the P!
This guys sounds like a robot. He’s been fully trained to say the same key words again and again…of course he can’t be honest.
But we’ve been preparing for months? The government need to pull their fingers out
Gør noget nu 🇬🇧
Why has it taken so long to start producing ventilators ??????????
More like let’s kill the pensioners so we don’t have to pay them
The food supply is not at risk, but the shelves are empty – confused.com
🇬🇧😰
The good point is that this is an island…
Please invite Taiwan health expert for assistance
Proper degenerate is your health minister. Schools should be closed already…
Mask making is more simple than in making ventilator.
TAKING BACK CONTROL!
Seems like the science they are using is the same science that car manufactures use to see if it’s cost efficient to leave a defect and to pay off any fatalities or do something about it.
This is biologically design virus which is killing old people and government don’t do what is required why?what they waiting for when increase will be same as in Italy
correct
Very pleased with the government’s responsible and clam response. No knee-jerk political point scoring actions.
Finally someone that asks the important questions but no answers as always… Ridiculous.
The right man in the wrong place.
weakest government ever they havent a clue i think boris gone hideing in a fridge again
Hé is lying
We need to close all pubs restaurants clubs in this country and that includes weatherspoons
Cannabis is the cure for coronavirus! check out the latest science on the Endocannabinoid system! EAT OR DRINK THE HERBS! NOT SMOKING! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWP5rY0bpNg&t=274s
Surrounding like in the ww2
I’m sick of singing happy birthday while I pee
?Explain please
…
Still loads of leftie fools in comments section using a virus as a political football. We do not want Corbyn-19 in charge, especially during a crisis!
“We are testing more than any other country” yet we are only testing people in hospital? I’m so confused 🤷♀️
Propaganda!
David M Karaoke It’s so backwards. Every other country is reporting numbers. Are they trying to save money on the tests? We’re all going to be in recession regardless. The impact has already hit.
Mon Panda The Government don’t want to know how many people are infected. That’s why they are not doing mass tests.
Yes that s a total lie..
The stockpiling is irresponsible. I will only stockpile as I have elderly parents. That’s my reason but at the age of twenty seven I don’t need one hundred loo rolls.
yeah if people keep buying stuff, soon there will be nothing left on the shelves! (maybe they saw it coming)
They dropped their ‘herd immunity’ policy pretty quickly, didn’t they?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂😂😂😂
We gonna need a bigger boat
The woman at the start looks like she DONNNE fam
Stupid the problem is not the economy, it is the collapse of the health system that would be the trigger for everything else. Without health there is no economy. Psychopaths bitches
We where told free of the EU we would be fast and nimble, quicker to respond to world events.
Instead we have the old dinosaur Tory Party, with the speed of a diplodocus, along with its mental capacity.
Patriotic Prepper TEEJAY . That’s my point. EU members have taken measures before we have. Yet we left to make quicker decisions, because it was argued ALL decisions require 28 to agree them. Yet another Brexit lie.
Europe has shut borders and Germany refused medical masks to Italy. Shut up
Chuck goverment out they useless all they doing is looking out for themselves
I read comments about the government only caring about the economy. Well, no economy means no food, no medicine, no ventilators, no pay, no benefits then more deaths more suffering. What part of this concept is so hard to grasp? We need peoples labor and so we need money to pay for that.
There are lots of lefties using this virus as a chance to attack the government, it’s pathetic. Think how bad things would be if we had Corbyn-19 and Dianne Abbott in charge!
Hong Kong authorities announced that the corona virus survivors might have a of drop 20 – 30 percent of their lung function and it will take about 15 years to fully recover . And still uk government wants us to go through ‘herd immunity’ . seriously???????
Why is the reporter constantly trying to sensationalise what he’s saying???
EXACTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME
Feels like being on the Titanic and the captain announces “we are sinking ….. but we have a plan …..” then silence ……. no instruction just silence. Hey ppl don’t panic.
Exactly. That’s what I am beginning to feel. Homeless. People on limited budget are really going to suffer
Let’s be kind & sharing & pray as I feel were on our own as this guy is useless
The plan is ‘sing Happy Birthday’, it will keep everyone calm and orderly.
Matt Hannock has a dead stare. Even kinda evil stare.
“I’m not going to go into responding to that particular accusation…” Matt Hancock is apparently another one who is sick and tired of experts.
This guy should self isolate, not to avoid COVID-19 but to save the brain cells of everyone who comes in contact with him
Victor Camarasa🤣🤣🤣🤣
get us all wearing masks your making a crisis , look at what Taiwan is doing 1 dead 50 people with it
Use our tax money for our NHS instead of war then! Thanks in advance!
The Tories are protecting the “economy” (corporations) and not the people (workforce) because we’ve elected a pack of psychotic elites.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Our government in Sweden says pretty much the same. Good or bad??
Underlining health symptoms means sorry we didn’t have a ventilator available
UK contact tracing is brilliant, this is why we are getting more tests. We are doing more tests…blah, blah, blah. And at the same time, “we are only going to test the seriously ill”.
This is a contradiction. Be straight and truthful, which is it?
I wonder what happens when the whole of parliament catch it ?
😂😂😂😂
eBay here we come!!

future – listen to the goverment only, accept laws to impede freedom, accept unnatural vaccines, accept microchipping, become a cashless society
Bulshitter
Bentcock and his cronies are way behind what other countries are doing, they’re just trying to protect the economy.
UK is contaminating the Caribbean islands bcuz all the cases in the Caribbean are visitors from the UK ! PLZ government of UK TEST ur CITIZENS B4 THEY BOARD FLIGHTS BCUZ the CORONA VIRUS IS SPREADING RAMPANT IN THE UK! DO SUMTIN NOW PLZ
The N H S will not rise to the challenge if there are thousands of cases as its over stretched already. I’m not blaming Mr Hancock as he has one hell of a tough job but I think they should started planning for this some weeks ago.
These morons have learnt nothing from the experience of China South Korea Iran and italy
Ofcourse they do. The plan is to kill off 10% of the population
evergreenpenguin ofcourse it will
Good luck drilling Trump admin like this.
As bad as ww2, stfu and get a new job. Ww2 took way too many lives and this coronavirus is nothing in comparison. If it kills more than a 100,000 a day then it would be a problem
Always REACTING never being PROACTIVE. The lack of ventilators was all over social media yesterday pointing out OUR own company making ventilators has a full order book making 10,000 for GERMANY! We are last to the party and with a laughable reaction as ever!
So, companies with no history of designing and building medical equipment, and no relevant supply chain, will suddenly be producing thousands of ventilators per week. Hey presto! All they need to do is “switch over production”, says a UK politician living in cloud cuckoo land without even attempting to explain how any of this would be funded. How many ventilators can we expect 10 Downing Street to produce?
Why schools not shut down yet
People are killed
So many people have benefits of fewer population in UK 😠😐😑
All countries have massively neglected their health care systems , by implementing continuous budgets cuts year after year,, heck there are more malls built then hospitals!!!! and now these very systems are unable to face what is happening. It’s like signing a contract with the devil to hand him peoples’ lives at some point , and now he’s coming to collect .
to little to late
Too little, too late. Sorry, I just had to.
All other countries close schools universities etc here from next Thursday bringing in laws to stop said schools that want to close from doing so…🤔
liar ur not testing people anymore ur making us stay in of ill and telling us not to ring 111 anymore
It’s just a cold, people are just acting stupid.
It’s his crisis.. hello underfunded NHS
And hopeless social care= catastrophe for which we need to find a scape goat
Translation. We need to wack as many old people as possible and free up the housing market as well as the NHS & care service.
Agenda 21 has begun!
Wish Jeremy Hunt was our health-minister, sorry, truth hurts
Boris is taking full advantage of this virus. He is hoping that all the elderly, sick and homeless will all be killed off to save the Government money. That is why he is refusing to try and stop this virus. Pure English Arrogance/Hubris.
It seems like a strategy to reduce the population to relieve the short budget.
the full effect of the china shutdown is still to materialize they supply the parts for everything please watch this is just getting started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZFhjMQrVts
Now when people cough it’s like omg stay away please don’t come near me
This is wrong thing at the right time
Well done to everyone who voted in a conservative government in 2010. For the last decade they’ve completely annihilated the NHS, using money that should have been for nhs funding and putting into private firms instead . We are now seeing the consequences of there actions
Running around begging for Ventilators,still no one to use them even if we get them.Doctors and nurses are saying they have no protective clothing, a quarter of the critical beds that Germany has, and if that workforce goes down, Well that’s all she wrote folks……..couldn’t make this up,5 th richest economy in the world, and look at him, He makes me wanna vomit….
Its ridiculous that we are shutting down the world for 3 months all because of a common cold. All time frames are in “Weeks” and “Months” not days. Sounds like either a big fat exercise with government actually spreading disinformation or it’s a genuine plague.
Wow…so many WWII references. Wait another 10 yrs to compare this situation with WWIII.
He’s practically begging for ventilators and excusing himself from the responsibility for the lack thereof… History will not forgive these buffoons.
Self isolate and self protect! Your life is yours. Nobody owns your life!
Matt Hancuck
Right do nothing just order more ventilators and coffins and make a business to sell to others. Boris’s
out of space science.
lotslo of spelling mistakes as youtube plays games with my posts.
The press is most responsible for spreading the virus…
What a shambles.
I bet after this interview he went for afternoon tea in the Langham
Walking Wonderer classic. Could’ve been outside a hospital, with a mask, looking something like he’s got his finger on the pulse. But no, The Langham flags flying. When he’s hanging from a lamppost with an “It was the best scientific advice” sign around his neck, he will see sense.
ManyMscientists have written to Boris slamming his “efforts”.
And he is in hiding now
this guy is a dipshit
In Germany we have about 25,000 ventilators and that will also no longer be enough at some point, maybe in two months.
IS IT JUST THE ELDERELY AND DISABLED THAT ARE GONNA BE INFECTED?
WE ALL NEED A REVOLUTION OR SOMETHING TO GET RID OF BORISES HORRIBLE LOGIC
@Russell what are the symptoms again?
Most of us will get infected but only the weak and old die
the anchor is so beautiful
toilet roll doesnt generate oxygen just saying
100% useless conversation when they are not doing any action
In times like this we the community need to become a massive family . We must all help each other .
I haven’t got no trust in him
Well played by Matt Hancock, journalist was pretty brutal but I think thats justified atm.
his hairline literally goes to china so he should isolate himself
His barber fucked his whole life up.
Reality check is coming …… Conservatives and brexit blow back. Lies, lies and lies now will be converting to victims….
Just tell us now that over 70 year old people should just stay at home for 4 month now…why wait? Wait for them to catch it and let them suffer? No! Just tell people to do so now! It’s not the matter of these people not being used to staying isolated for so long of a time…it is about their life!! Just shut down UK! Don’t play with our lives!!
This is a virus with a real mortality rate of less than 1%, dangerous yes and precautions need to be taken, but please stop the constant fear mongering, this virus is no more deadly (a lot less in fact) than several we have experienced in the last twenty years, SARS, Ebola, etc, present the facts, the data and the real danger, the only thing missing from this report was a tolling bell in the background and the bloke wheeling the wagon by crying “bring out your dead”
He doesn’t wont to close things down, because he is a tory and money is more worth than lives.
It’s very handy if he said everyone should be infected to build antibodies.
And of course sick people and the elderly will die, that means the government has to pay less money for nursing homes and PIP disability allowance.
Wake up people!
Media people are just arrogant🙈
Put me on the list. I want to help make ventilators. Production lines required. Sign me up!
Prevention is always better than cure…we are an island,so why have we let so many in from foreign lands without putting them in quarantine? ..
Baffled
My daughters friend came back from Rome 5 days ago. Was told that if no symptoms after 5 days,they would be ok,however,she never went into isolation. Some people just don’t get it!
Some that were our own people were not tested/temperature checked after arriving back from the worst affected area of Italy 2 weeks ago from a school trip only to turfed out of school days later and told to self isolate. Also a company in Derbyshire are manufacturing Co-vid 19 test kits at the rate of 500,000 per week, which only cost a fiver, where the test takes at most 10 mins and the NHS/Government don’t want to know, all the while sticking to the slow swab method and not everyone will be tested as someone that I saw on the News has self-isolated but is now getting better but because of that will not now probably be tested for Co-vid. Ridiculous
More testing than other European countries???
Is he having an actual laugh??
I have had contact with a confirmed case but they refused to test me as 2 weeks had passed since I fell ill and was no longer Symptomatic,
NHS 111 said it wasn`t worth it..
How are they to know how many cases there actually are if they only test once you`ve been admitted to hospital???
Hand this man his P45.
Ah okay I think this explains the 4 phase plan quite well makes sense now https://vm.tiktok.com/pmRnpm/
he looks like a rabbit stuck in the head lights,not a f///king clue which way to go
We only needed masks and tighter airports 6 to 8 weeks ago. Let’s do our bit. Stay home. This weekend some were defiant against the virus and still went out in throngs. Wash hands saponification destroys bilipid layer of virus so when u touch ur face and somebody else at least minimise spread.
The man is a fking idiot.
Wash your hands and sing happy die day not birthday
Grow up
MSM yet again trying as hard as they can to pull down the advice and efforts of government, would this be the same if it was a labour government? I think not! Shame on sky news #scaremongeringnarrative
Emergency powers! Allow police to detain infected people! That’s worrying 🙄 once they have those powers, all our human rights will disappear.
This isn’t north Korea take a valium
What measures????????
I’ll use the new phrase about Matt Hancock…..Word Salad.
And what about Herd Immunity that’s how the government see all us people as a herd that’s awful and hurtful
It’s a term used in immunology to describe the transmission of a virus and its transit into a population and how immunity blockers effectively slow and stop a virus via natural immunity it has nothing to do with your feelings
Government is implementing Eugenics..
How will I get to the post office to pay my council tax?, Will the local tax office even be staffed, of will covis-19 get them.
mike harding Its a automated system
@Russell Thanks Russel, and if the office that gets the my online transaction is shut then what?.
Pay it online like everyone else
Bit late aint it?
Ventilators should have been ordered and training on them WEEKS AGO.
If we compared the deaths caused to vulnerable people from the typical flu which already happens every year, isn’t Covid-19 getting blown completely out of proportion by the media and government, it’s all scaremongering?
Russell what has just started over here? The media following it and scaremongering everyone, or this new virus which is in the same category as preexisting types of flu which causes thousands of deaths already?
No because its only just getting started over here along with how inept the government is alot of people are going to die. If everyone just locked themselves away for two weeks it be less drastic
5fth richest countrie…. no comment… today no new statistics- how many people infected. They talk about yesterday’s numbers. They don’t care about us. Pandemic and no interwiev with prime minister…. people please- lets support people, neighbours, friends, family. And wash hands regularly, all is in ur hands. Boris can just be funny on TV. But in this situation I think him need nappies. Sad but reality.
He said they’ve been working on test kits for the last several months!? Which would take us back to September even tho we the public have only heard about it since January 🤔
this idiot looks barely awake.
Imagine living in a world where being told to wash your hands is breaking news
John Russell * laughs in muslim *
The Shaolin Six . Next it will be a religious obligation. Seems the Muslims have been prepared since Mohammed.
Meanwhile thousands of people gathered in Bath to run a half marathon this morning…crazy
is what this government want… infect everyone… wtf??
It’s survival of the fittest
Dumb people will have a lung condition or…. die
Selfish and irresponsible sports fanatics
Insane. I dont event feel sorry for them.
theres a scouser joke there somewhere……
Herd IMMUNITY is survival of the fittest and this happens in the ANIMAL KINGDOM not United Kingdom. God will protect the herd from perishing. The Lord is our Shepherd
Nothing of the sort stop being an idiot herd immunity is the term used to describe the passage of a virus into a group and its slowing via the natural immunity and resilience of individuals within that group effectively help block a virus from getting to those ppl that are at risk thus basically burning the virus out before it can spread. Oh and thank common sense we aren’t looking to a god for help because that’s waiting for train that don’t come. In this current situation the last thing we need is religious nuts spreading the virus around and leaving it up to god…no thanks we saw that with the ebola virus in Africa no thanks
Just follow what the USA does and follow Trumps lead. He says this thing is a hoax and will end by summer.
“It is incredibly important to wash your hands while singing happy birthday” we are so very fucked
Were these government morons sleeping for last 2 moths that they are running for ventilators NOW… OMG this government is full of stupids… The biggest moron is trying to get 500,000 people killed..
I like the way Hancock is going about things. He’s not being alarmist, he’s very matter of fact and if or rather when this worsens I for one think we just might be in good hands here.
remember he said that mass gatherings don’t spread the virus 2 weeks ago. (To be fair, none of the political swamp creatures are prepared for this, he’s just the sacrificial lamb.)
In my town Plovdiv in Bulgaria they have only one ventilator and 6 not working
The Italian healthcare professionals are warning and urging the UK not to make the same mistake they did in not taking drastic action soon enough.
The UK are only testing people who get to point that they need medical intervention, and he just said ‘we are doing many more tests’ … so translation … hundreds of people are in hospital because of this.
The impact to workers who catch this will mean disruption of vital services. Because it is ao contagious and symptoms are strong if one big bank like mine has thousands of core staff off sick at the same time, banking operations will be disrupted. The whole economy depends on access to banking services. This is why the banks have moved to remote working for vast majority of staff so the economy does not collapse which it will if the banks cannot service customers and businesses. We are not waiting for Boris we are using sense and lessons learned from our counterparts in Asia and Italy.
I’ve sung happy birthday so much my age is now 508 years old.
This fella hasn’t got a clue
Close the schools! I don’t want to die!
@Mike Oxlong Yeah, it was a joke but i am actually quite worried that i might pick it up at school and give it to my granddad, CLOSE THE SCHOOLS!! Teachers and students all need a break! PS- How much HW will we get if the school do get shutdown?
Us students won’t die but if we pick up the virus in school and bring it home to our parents they might die. CLOSE SCHOOLS NOW
No guarantees! WTF why wasn’t this done weeks ago, no point rushing around training ppl and manufacturing stuff at this late stage …… holding back testing, holding back containment, holding back everything, nothing to see here attitude. Not test … no virus ….. crazy …. giving the impression there is still time ….. TIME IS OUT …. this is going to get messy.
@eekamoose Try more like 500,000 by start of April
The spread in China started in late December, UK has had more than 3 months to prepare and they did nothing.
Trump hid it as long as he could. That’s why no testing.
It’s possible that half a million people may be infected in the UK in a couple of months’ time because the government and most of the population are not taking precautions to slow down the spread of the virus. 5000 ventilators for 500 000 infections is not going to work out…
that’s a lie about the testing numbers we are well down the list on the test rates. 8:50 ish
This shows the problem when the Government fails to properly support the manufacturing industry in the UK. The vast majority of electronic equipment is now manufactured overseas (mostly China), and come a period of national emergency, the problem of lack of capacity comes home to roost. The same has happened with many other items, including munitions for our forces which are now imported from abroad (much of it from France and the EU), and pharmaceuticals (most of which are made abroad (many in India)). The Government needs to review the UK’s capacity to produce vital equipment, and then invest in this capacity, so that we can be self-sufficient in vital products in the future.
SEE HOW UN PREPARED THE UK IS..ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
THE ITALIANS HAD TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS ON WHO SHOULD BE PUT ON A VENTILATORS.
AND SOME PEOPLE DIED DUE TO A LACK OF THEM.
GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER..
🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠
In China they build tempry hospitals and organized tempry healthcare units in sport arenas, schools etc
not here . Why????
In other countries firefighters and other task forces desinfect public buildings and spaces, distribute gloves, masks, sanitisers, tests etc..
Not here. Why????
@MONTY M why?????
😂
@MONTY M erm they are asking valid questions……..
Please try to control your passions
“We have 5 thousand” over 70 population in the U.K. Is about 800 000.
Lottie Pye That’s the spirit my beauty, they don’t make ‘em like your generation anymore.🧐
Hmm, your figures are wide of the mark. The latest official data shows more than 5.4 million people in the UK are over 75. I wonder how many we will have in a year?
is that a pride NHS tag….such a clown
What about younger people with health conditions?
Pregnant women?
Newborns as they have little to no immune system?
All dead. Hopefully they go quick so that we can get ventilators instead of the weak people.
Matt Hancock has enough hot air coming out of his gob. I believe this virus was man made to initiate everyone getting a vaccine. Wait and see if I’m right about the vaccine. Washing your hands is pointless against an airborne virus.
Literally evidence to say it came from animals nothing to do with man made. It was mans stupidity that spread it thats about it
Depends what’s in the vaccine…
Matt Hancock is not a wartime consigliere… we need someone who is confident in making decisions.
Criminal negligence not to test and track the spread,
as Taiwan and Singapore and others have proven it to work.
@David Bower Lol, Taiwan? I’ve just done two weeks isolation in New Taipei City. I got two phone calls during the whole time, and when I arrived, no one asked how I was getting to my destination. The first call I got (police, not doctors) was 6 days after I arrived, and it was to confirm my address. Fines for bringing in meat are 1 millionNTD, but fines for evading self-isolation are set at a maximum of 150kNTD. Taiwan has not handled this particularly well, it’s just been lucky.
Every country should have been following Taiwan’s lead from the beginning.
The Chinese done this before and they are doing it again holding the world at ransom for their own benefit! How many people die in this country every year due to cold? Thousands!
This guy has no clue at all. Britain is run by absolute morons. Glad I fled years ago.
My take on the shielding of those over 70 is that if they get very ill with virus, and hospitals get swamped, then they may not get the icu bed they will need to survive
thei dea is to let them die painful lonely deaths.There has to be a masked uprising.Let the healthyhehe rd demonstrate
Underfunded so acceptable losses and hopeless chaos ensues.
Do not trust a word this puppet says. Don’t fear the virus, it’s a hoax. Fear what the government is planning.
He really doesn’t lie well….”we’ve been working for a couple of…ahh..ahh..erm..months”..i presume its days ?🤔
Hours
Exactly. The last few day’s with this man talking, I have know faith in him as he is coming across as week & no back bone or does he know that the people have no chance of getting medical help, basically the strongest survives. Scary stuff
The people panic buy groceries, the government panic buys ventilators.
Britain should be learning from Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Germany.
Britain needs an organised, multi-pronged approach.
It’s sad that that’s radical idea; when a government puts it’s citizens health above money.
But exporting countries are interfering in the Free Market. They are stopping exports of current orders, never mind emergency orders from the U.K., willing to pay over the market price to get them. Their people’s health is more important than our money.
IPCC SaysLessThan11Years, Japan? They haven’t done anything. They’re afraid of testing people because of Olympic this summer
Well said.
The shops can’t cope, this guy is lying. I’ve seen it with my own eyes
They should tax their own secret off shore tax heavens ,to fund it.
They pushed to leave the EU because of it
This is a pathetic mess …….. Get your act together Boris and listen to the WHO and other scientists …… We are edging towards an Italian outcome fast!!!! We have had weeks to plan for this and we are still not ready …. shameful … ppl will die as a direct result of this crazy delay and stubborn unwillingness to follow the WHO guidlines. Shame on our government!
I’m glad, thins out the numbers a bit.
Government don’t care about the homeless people. But if it was for there own family they would pay for room …
singing happy birthday. that gets me every-time
I have aids hug me
Really , did anyone expect more than a series of non answers and non specific action plans ..yawn.
The worse crisis of this generation… Round up the liars that told everyone that the danger was Low they have a lot of questions to answer
At their trials
“kills the virus”, stand by for the clamouring for antibiotics…
@Stephen Whitemore Kinda my point.
Antibiotics dont kill viruses they kill bacterial infections, ABs will do nothing.
Sick of these goons beating around the Bush all I want is 4 cameras 1 interviewer who’s not afraid to dig and ask real questions and Boris Johnson with some real answers.
Less than 1500 cases in a population of over 65 million and omg we need more ventilators and stop all mass gatherings……..
KEEP WASHING YOUR HANDS AND GET PEALING SKIN SORES or just sit in the bath for 4 months there playing agenda 21 silly not roulette!
Quick everyone grab some toilet paper
Thousands mingling in very close proximity everyday, in every school and then going into every community. I can’t think of a more effective way to transfer this virus to ever corner of the country.
Man said happy birthday😂😂
I got a fever and nothing else what should I do
We need make sure this government loses big time in next elections, that is if most of us survive. They putting our lives and loved ones at great risk.
Leftie idiot using a virus as a political football. No way would anyone want Corbyn-19 or Dianne Abbott in charge in a crisis!
@Mark Shepphard it doesn’t matter which government is in charge. They are all playing a game, they aren’t the real power in the world. This is stage one of something bigger to come. Get people panicking and they’ll agree to anything to make the scary thing go away. No government will be free of blame, they are all complicit.
I’m not sure there will be another election. The world could be a very different place post Covid-19
Left wing media and labour activists STOP blaming the Tories for everything.
The politicisation of the virus is happening here and in the US. It’s pathetic. That said, 5,000 ventilators in a country this size is shocking.
@Strawberry Cake Yes – like *all* of the media.
Bucket with a face on it
Left Wing media?
Is herd immunity still on or not?
all i hear is .sorry were clueless .i have no idea how to sort this out..i know, wait for the coronavirus to take full effect .kill all the elderly so we dont have to pay them anymore support…and we can keep the money ourselves …yet the people with common sense “us” want to lockdown this country now .3 weeks can even reduce the covid-19…if this country turns out like italy ..why !!! why did it have to go that far!!!!! was there a chance to stop it ..i think there is ..i dont know why the government is gambling with our lives ….
Matt, just answer Sophy’s question, do we have enough ventilators?
iw will answer it.No.
Did this clown say it’s important to sing happy birthday while washing our hands wtf does happy birthday do to a virus
@Matthew Harris Might as well sing row, row, row your boat, then.
We the uk don’t trust our own government! Ppl are gunna start getting angry soon if not already. It’s an absolute joke!!! 😡
Shut up people wont do anything except panic because they’re dumb and sheep
I watched the BBC news at 9am….the lady reading the news said “Matt Hancock speaking earlier on Sky news said….” She looked like she had just stepped on a dog turd I nearl fell off the sofa laughing…!
Murder on their hands, genocide comes to mind.
Leftie idiot.
R u agitated?
Act now and not when it is too late!
We had 3 moths to be ready
We don’t need ventilators we need immediate isolation
both
I’m more concerned by what will come after this virus. I don’t trust this at all, something bigger is going on. The virus is just the start.
oh come on 😟
let’s take one step at a time 🙂
An economic crisis. Predicted to come soon but nobody knows when exactly
Agenda 21 is a good place to start looking mate if your interested about future plans and such
What happened to great Britain when we built spitfires by hand in a couple of days
immigrants?
The UK government has planned an appalling resistance to COVID-19. They say to not shut schools down, but the youngest person with a case of the virus is a newborn baby. Without help from the EU, we have to survive on our own economy and if that isn’t coming in anyway, then the country is in a poor position.
I oppose the politicization of this thing but having 5,000 ventilators on hand in a country of 70 million is a shock. Unbelievable.
We need at least 1m ventilators and 1m more beds plus sanitizing pods at work places
How did they not prepare for this? Most of the serious epidemics of the last twenty years were respiratory.
Where are the plans to ramp up cleaning to busy public places? Why isn’t this even being discussed!?
theyth don’t care.
Government and Hancock in a no-win situation.
2.22 … I cannot believe what I am hearing
How ironic that UK government call the meeting as Cobra because they are snake! I’m worried about my mum who’s on mid 60s and she’s been working in a health care for vulnerable and with disability both of them will suffer if the government don’t act now! They are talking about the timing but the timing is NOW! Shame😡
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Our own government is failing us. Ridiculous. Government are not meant to RULE they are meant to represent the voice of the people. The people have chosen and if the government doesn’t act they will surely be held accountable for failing to listen to their leaders, us.
She shouldn’t go. Do persuade her.
Matt ‘at the right time’ Hancock…the right time was 6 weeks ago when the numbers in China started ballooning….we are way too late already…he imbues zero confidence and never has….
@Mark Shepphard Bollocks. He could have closed the border if he wished. Fact is, he values globalism more than protecting the British people.
I didn’t vote conservative, and I’m quite ideologically opposed to a lot of their ideas, but I gotta say that I do trust that they’re handling this the best they can.
The British can stand up to anything but the only thing is there is no British left
No, there’s a few they are all the stronger for surviving this. (Which politician said ages ago, “We will come out of this stronger.”?)
Except they will all be in a state of shock and grief. (Who said this virus could cause PTSD?) So the mental health of those left?
We need to look at the bigger picture.
Johnson and these goons will have blood on their hands
never washed my hands, never will, only if my finger breaks through. extremely rarely am I ever ill. 😉 30 years and going strong. suck it.
“Look after yourselves by self-isolating, but not yet because we don’t want to loose money. Wait, just wait. It’ll be fine.”
TheWirewitch basically pal , we are fucked and nothing will work. Welcome to the new normal until a vaccine arrives or 60% catch it and 3.4% of those to die. 46,000,000 globally
@Ryan Tandy I think shutting the uk down for a year will work? Where the hell did I say that?
Who said a whole year ?!! Learn from others, look at China locked for literally a couple of months and they were able to control it ! Why wait?!
IF I HEAR “SING HAPPY BLOODY BIRTHDAY” ONE MORE TIME FROM ANY OF THESE EEJITS IM GONA GO MAD, TED.
Blackpool pleasure beach is selling wristbands and opening as usual, good luck after easter keeping this thing under control in the UK
How much are the wristbands???
Why are people acting like this virus is airborne? smh wash your hands and don’t touch your face, simple. If it’s your time it’s just your time.
Chinese doctor got infected through the eyes, pay attention. The reason everyone got sick on the cruise ship was due to the ventilation between rooms. Particle filter masks and goggles are necessary when around the infected.
It literally is a airborne virus actually do some research
We need more blow dryers not ventilators.
UK:60%have to get the virus
The 40%:BYE GUYS ITS BEEN GOOD .
THE 40% CAN BE YOUR PARENTS AND YOUNG ONES
It has a fatality rate of 1%-5% depending on your vulnerability. Like flu.
Stand and deliver, your money or your life
“We’re very similar to the approach being taken in Germany (4,649 infected and expect 70% of their population to be infected 🤦🏾♂️)” Great choice of country to follow Matt….
Wash ur hands 👎done
Isolating stops the spread.
Washing hands is nothing compared to isolating.
0.5% mortality rate if isolating, 4% morality rate if not isolating.
UK is going for 4%+ mortality.
The 4 percent were already the weakest we had in the UK. If they go now it saves us wasting money on keeping them alive for years and years.
Thanks for kicking us out of hospitals 😪keep investing more on war
That’s the official Government response if someone miss it…
https://youtu.be/bM0yzEf-v-g
Why don’t intelligent people run the government? I am not a complete moron (maybe a loon) but these guys are two months behind on what I have been saying.
these morons only get to this position by kissing peoples asses and lying. it does not take intelligence to do that.
I’m terrified for my father he is 66 and he still going to work when this is happening 😠
@Levy Roth Your infected basically?
RIP your dad 🙁
I work with over 100 people every day, I have asthma … what can I say?
MAYBE WE DON’T WANT TO DO HERD IMMUNITY/ dID THEY THINK ABOUT THAT/ do they know we don’t have a west wing to shovr granny in till it’s over/ instead we live in close conditions cramped houses with a lot of room sharing/ They need to know how the British people live they are so out of touch with it’s people/ We are not a science experiment nor do we care how much their shares have gone down WE CARE ABOUT OR FAMILIES.FRIENDS ABD NEIGHBOURS
Does this idiot not know about legal procedures for the production of certain products manufacturers of bike pumps just dont turn out ventilators overnight,God help us.
The government has underfunded the NHS for over 30yrs. Now when we really need it , suddenly Conservatives are expecting miracles.
The NHS generally works very well, but obviously will require some additional resources to handle the current situation. Best we all pull in the same direction and don’t get bogged down in political squabbling.
@Buffalo 66 so what does that make labour voters? Labour started NHS privatisation, Labour are responsible for the lack of funding for at least 15 of those 30 years.
If we are stupid then labour voters must be retarded 😁
Because the tories are thick just like the people who voted for them.
@ Tim Tam , actually it will take 8 days to merely get the paperwork ready to start filling in!! Remember, HS2, 3rd runway Heathrow, amongst other projects which will eventually take decades to complete, that is if they do ever get completed!
China built a hospital in 8 days x
emmm why do wee need personel protection equipment
I’m not 100% on how self isolation works. Like I live alone… My family live nowhere near me, nor do any of my friends. How would I get food??
Where I live doesn’t open to a road, and there are three locked doors to get to me, which I’m the only one with a key to… Others also live around me, so self isolating wouldn’t really work as I’d probably infect them (I’m not infected, this is a hyperthetical that could soon be a reality)
the gov says they are “working with supermarkets to get food to those in isolation”, no idea if that is true or how it works
From Tesco!
My normal slot has vanished because the whole week is booked. My wife is disabled, and I am her carer.
No one thought to identify current at risk customers first.
Online supermarket – most of the big players have the service.
Uber eats?
The coronavirus will fix the pension scandal.

The Useless Eaters will be welded into their homes! Invest in welding machines and rods.
this guy hasnt got a clue
priyan ks nobody has experts talk bollox
I keep forgetting the words to happy birthday 🙊😷
They have had 4 months to prepare and purchase equipment in advance, especially if they were planning on 60% of the population getting the virus for ‘herd’ immunity, absolutely clueless. Vast numbers will die because of these politicians.
THEPete Completely agree, absolutely clueless, they talk about controlling the spread of Coronavirus, how can they control anything that they have no control over.
Stopping payments to vulnerable and disabled people is not protecting them. Why is the British government targeting disabled people to starvation and suicide.
Life isn’t a charity
After all these things finish,I don’t think people want to sing happy birthday again….
Why is ‘UK science’ different to ‘rest of the world science’?
We can borrow from other countries
@Mark Shepphard no because the Tories have spent ten years killing the NHS and hiding just how bad it is. They are still painting a fake picture that we will cope , when it is obvious we won’t.
It is bullshit, not science.
They 350 million NHS money
We DID see in other countries it’s not gone well , as he put it!!!
WHY they don’t learn from those mistakes and learn from what work like in Bahrain , South Korea , China … They WANT KILL the elderly and sick people????
Kick off all the politicians
Russia closes borders and hasnt got it, we are sacrificing our elderly so we dont have to shut the borders, as the UN replacement plan is more important to them.
@evergreenpenguin Closing the borders would help, but they dont want to stop the UN replacement plan no matter what.
@evergreenpenguin Doesnt it die out on its own eventually like the Flu?
I don’t trust this man!
“We are well prepared, just wash hand and sing happy birthday in the party with lots of people, and watching people alive suffering and eventually die”. Now, actually we did not do anything but BS, now we just realise we are not capable to run the country.
Sensible social distancing if no symptoms and self isolating if symptomatic for 7 days. Wash hand frequently.
I bet the MPs won’t be short of ventilators in their lovely private hospitals
Forgot to mention that about 50% of our routine cases are contracted NHS patients, none of them that I have helped treat are politicians
CORRECT
@we need to eat the babies
The whole point of universal healthcare is to bribe and blackmail the populace
Yes, so that’s why they’re buying up private hospital places, so they can get treated in luxury — on the NHS! I have to pay a fortune each year for private health insurance because the NHS won’t monitor/treat my osteoporosis. Now, if I get struck down with Covid-19, the NHS won’t have space to treat me, and the private hospitals won’t have room either. We’re not rich, a quarter of our meagre state pension goes to cover our health needs that the NHS fails us on. Looks like the financial struggle we’ve endured for past 12 years will have been a complete waste, when/if I need to get the private insurance to help me, they won’t be able to, the hospitals will be full of the bloated rich politicians getting their freebie private healthcare!
At my hospital we dont have ICU but we do have ventilators. Im sure that if the need arises that we will be cancelling our routine cases and our operating theatres and staff (where the ventilators are) will be treating those patients that need ventilating.
2:22 definitely
In WWII we mass produced planes tanks & other weapons & yet 2 day we can’t mass produce ventilators
@Tim Tam i totally agree
My bullshot meter just exploded.
Ffs, I knew I should have gone into the ventilator production industry, I could be minted now.
Is he telling the truth? Last time, it was stated we are working with supermarkets to secure supplies, and that turned out to be a lie because the very next day big supermarkets turned around and said first we’ve heard of this.
Words and promises! 5000 ventilators, 2% of 66million people = 1.3million people possibly needing them if not more
Good luck asking my 90 yr old Gran to stay in.
Get boris out
Even the dictators in the world would not do what Boris does and we know the reputation of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, Erdogan, Nicolas Maduro. Waiting is murder, plain and simple.
Kim shut his borders months ago. 30 days quarantine for anyone coming in.
Snowflake.
people who are mentally fragile may kill themselves.
When R the goverment going 2 get there act 2gether
@Jeanette Howard I hope that they don’t leave it 2 late
AFTER ALL THE DEATHS AND THE IMPORT OF MIGRANTS TO PAY TAXES TO PAY THE 2.3 TRILLION DEBT
Unbelievable weak
This is why everyone who can isolate should isolate.
@WolfieSmith
In the future…
Your statement might read as title for : *”The Greatest story, ever told”* ?
Gun Pilot PS: it’s spelled “millennial”, my dear girl xx
Gun Pilot I love me a bit of triggered gammon on a Sunday. Keep safe, love xxxxxxx
@mark lawtonspoken like a true f#@k wit millenial….
Everyone should isolate not just those who have that luxury.
ah, Matt Hancork, big fan
I feel like tony Blair would handle this a lot better, he seemed to be the best out of our last 4…
U can clearly see that the government are shitting themselves spending money on ventilators washing your hands is fukin bollox what happens when people cough near each other they get it we all need to get these pricks out of parliament
That is a lie, they are only protecting the economy of UK, plain and simple.
WITH THE UK GDP AND DEBT RUNNING AT 2,3 TRILLION AND GDP AT 110 PERCENT ITS CHEEPER TO IMPORT MIGRANTS
@Gardenroom 61 and that would have been a much better alternative in this situation.
@JAG LeMans The human species never developed “herd immunity” to polio or smallpox or any virus, really — ever, despite millennia of death and illness and misery.
Mr D Utter stupidity.
@Guapps Well said idiots will always be idiots.
PPE and ventalators are essential but everywhere in the world is looking to purchase them at same time.
exactly, and the countries who make them are keeping for themselves
To delayed this virus don’t we need to do more to stop the spread?? But clearly the government is doing nothing to stop the spread.
This Guy is mentally challenged.
@Decland Thomas Exactly what I thought, the words coming out of his mouth somehow don’t respond to the expression on his face. I think there is a conflicting dialogue going through his mind ….. He looks like he doesn’t agree with himself …. almost apologetic.
Michael Alan Lydeen …he seems to have an inbuilt teleprompter in his head. Does not come across very convincing at all. He just wants to go home and cry…😂
😂😂😂 have to agree lmao
regret voting for these now. although i doubt labour would have done anything different.
Christopher Agreed, they are all the same, useless, the NHS is in its knees and has been for 25 years. Neither Party gives a toss, they all go “Private”, this disease does not distinguish between rich and poor though, all the money in the world won’t help now.
Only way is the way that was proven (china), not w he/she think
Pure bull if u cant see the lies its time to pull ur heads out of the sand people..
Listen to the several months bit he tried to cover himself up,bet he was kicking himself they knew about virus months and months ago,this is a germ war practice
This government will kill more by not quarantining the ones at risk and allowing fit and healthy to carry on as normal so as to catch virus so as not to pass it to sick ones,it’s here to stay and staying in and banning large social gatherings isn’t going to save lives.
@TheDevils Rainbow the quicker healthy people catch it and become immune the better,the old and frail can stop worrying then so long as it can’t be caught twice.
quarantine the healthy so e sick can carry on as normal.
They aren’t trying to save lives, they know they cant stop it spreading, it’s just about slowing the spread which banning large gathering can do .
Remember how long this government took to get brexit done. & it thinks it’s managing an incurable global virus.
Yeah. Ok 👍.
L e n a K smallpox was a viral disease that was eradicated in 1980
David Shrimpton lol, what’s the Maastricht treaty?
NO virus is curable, by the way, ever had a cold? Stop spreading fear
jack kelly and still no understanding of the political process
David Shrimpton Theresa May is a Tory. Boris Johnson is a Tory the government is Tory. They were told what to do from the start with brexit but instead Theresa May, through policy, chased her tail & further majority. One of those polices being to put assets of the elderly up to pay for social care! They do not care about the elderly & are evidently incapable.
Had the Government heeded the NHS’s long-standing message of urgently needing more funding and support, before the Corona virus was even on the radar, the UK would be better prepared on the whole for this newest challenge and others in general.
As a result of starting off on the back foot concessions are having to be made from the ideal approach which unfortunately will now cost many lives.
What is the ”right” time, what is the ”science” behind the UK strategy? Aren’t the actual bitter experiences and lessons from China and Italy not evident enough that not being proactive will cost dear and that is people’s lives we are talking about! Matt Hancock is full of BS, the whole UK gov is a bunch of liars, it is all about saving money by delaying taking action, because they simply don’t want to pay for people to stay at home until a good few thousands will have died.
F Liu hong Kong authorities announced that the corona virus survivors might have a of drop 20 – 30 percent of their lung function and it will take about 15 years to fully recover
Their trying to hide behind scientific reasoning. Only problem is anybody smart enough to understand scientific reasoning can see through their bullshit. It’s all about money with the tories. It’s a plus for them if a load of elderly get killed off.
Europe has got it wrong. They fucked up
I understand the seriousness of this virus, but so far this winter between 12,000 and 30,000 have died of the ‘flu in the US alone, yet no panic around that figure?
@Stephen Jones Hopefully, soon. But not until we take the same measures as China did.
@Martyn C Infection rate in China is now dropping, hopefully ours will too soon.
@Martyn C oh I am aware. However it’s a big issue that will throw a lot of problems back onto every country and their management of lifestyle, genetics and much much more. Including the disgusting use of treating healthcare like a privilege.
@Hover Cancer isn’t contagious.
We are right at the start of this outbreak and hospitals are expecting to be swamped. China and Italy have shown us what the virus can do. If not for the lock downs, the virus would infect the majority of our population, so the fear is justified, even if we should not let it send us into panic. I think in a few weeks, we will have to isolate ourselves and stop the spread or watch the NHS have to turn sick people away. Also, last I heard China and India are not exporting medicines.
If only they hadn’t cut the living crap out of the nhs and all its support within the community for the last 10 years 🤔
