        Don't forget Mr Johnson, he needs to go as well. Or are they using Mr Hancock as a scapegoat, ie Johnson bounces back and cleans out his rotten cabinet and claims he'll get the Covid-19 virus done.

        Would that be especially true for staff tests - to enable staff to return?

        The whole thing is a mess. My wife's hospital has only a few dozen tests in the building for staff and patients and they all know the failure rate is high. Plus the swabbing is an unpleasant & invasive procedure and isnt always being done appropriately due to anxiety/discomfort
