At this stage it's like asking me if I'd get a ticket to watch Dale in the FA Cup Final. Almost certainly if and when it happens. Patiently awaiting the dates for both.
The C19 vaccine is still an unknown although there are many labs working on it.....surely it will have to fulfil stringent trials afore it's let loose on us lot.....

James the poll master strikes again 😀
This is an excellent poll and to be honest it is going as I expected there is still time for me to be surprised, pleasantly surprised that is. I would love to know the other two who did not say yes.

I've not been impressed with Matt Hancock at all but the job he's trying to do has expended massively in the last 2 months. Other ministers should have been brought in earlier to share areas of responsibility. He's not helped himself I know, but he's being hung out to dry at the moment.

Pretty much my thoughts. I winced when i heard him make the 100k promise. He's certainly been badly advised and though i also have a tendency to think "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen" i doubt any minister in peacetime has had the brief he's found himself with. To witter on about "he's out of his depth" is to pretty much fail to understand what 'depth' means. It also doesn't help when you've got the likes of Jeremy Hunt (for a time, one of the most unpopular holders of the Health & Social Care brief ever) sniping from the sidelines, aided and abetted by the BBC

And by the time we get to 100,000 a day we may then not need that many anyway. Arrange the following in order: After, has Bolted, Stable door, the Horse, Closing the
In fairness the situation would be the same whoever was in charge but he is really struggling. Another sentence. A Promise, Keep, Make, you can't, Don't, You
so bored today I'm making up pointless riddles. I'd do another riddle now but already bored of that too

Yes, In a few weeks we could have (Even more) empty nightingales and more testing ability than we need. I wouldn’t be critical of that, the PPE issue isn’t going away though, the stockpile being managed by a foreign company, and being sold in the middle of all this doesn’t sound ideal at all. the army is apparently very critical of the way equipment is distributed in the NHS.

I think Hancock will be the one who pays for all these guesstimates being wildly inaccurate at the end of this with his job, and whilst that may be unfair, Those above and those providing him with the duff info are going to ensure the buck stops there. If I were him, I wouldn’t have put any figures out there if I wasn’t confident of achieving them. As for Hunt, a lot of things wrong with the NHS can be traced to him

tbf, he'll be so mentally shot by the end of this he'll be begging to be relieved of his ministerial post for a respite
Along with thousands of NHS staff, who'll also be mentally & physically drained

Just reading in the independent that ‘unnamed’ govt sources are stating that it was Hancock that went with these figures without a strategy to deliver them. Either suggests he is indeed out of his depth, or the scapegoating has started from within no 10

Not a fan of Hancock personally, but at the time he announced 100k tests, I went on record as applauding him for setting the bar high (for the UK with it's limitations as discussed previously). Better to get 80 or 90% of the target than to set it at 50k. Now they are saying they are on target and will reach it so that is something at least.
What I really don't like is how the cabinet hide behind "the science" when it suits them. Today "we need to get the numbers right down for test, track and trace to work", but for months, there was no social distancing or inadequate attempts to test track and trace (partially due to test track and trace capacity limitations) which might have prevented many of the deaths we see and certainly kept them below the 20k mark.
At least they are stopping journos coming back on questions - today Laura Clownsburg asked AGAIN for a date when we would come out of lockdown and start easing social distancing just before the Brighton journo said the beach is still attracting numbers at the weekends. I thought I despised politicians even more than estate agents and lawyers as the lowest life form we have, but journos trying to make a name for themselves have wormed their way into bottom slot now. It's tedious, as DA ranted about on t'other thread.
