DHSCMedia - "on 10 February the Secretary of State declared that “the incidence or transmission of novel Coronavirus constituted a serious and imminent threat to public health” - despite this he didn't chair a COBR meeting until 2 March??
I don’t normally get involved in arguments about the media on Twitter but the inaccuracies in today’s Sunday Times shouldn’t go unchallenged. Even as a junior minister I have attended COBR on behalf of DfT and its normal for Secretaries of State to chair.https://healthmedia.blog.gov.uk/2020/04/19/response-to-sunday-times-insight-article/ …

It's getting to be quite ridiculous how the MSM, TV, online & Printed, get away with making up our news. It needs to be addressed now.

At least 16,060 UK dead....you may need to check if there are any inaccuracies in that.

Figures need to be revised upwards by at least 15% if we factor in deaths from social care.

Pandemics are hardly unprecedented; while the course of each may vary, they happen with enough frequency that we should have been better prepared than this. & your government should have handled this so much better; the death-toll shows that.

And therein lies the mistake Rachel. You have highlighted it yourself. These are not normal times but
@BorisJohnson thought they were. It’s why he shook hands with the infected and was so blasé about the whole thing. It’s why your shallow populist government struggles so.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

1 meeting maybe, but 5? Then bragging about shaking hands with the affected, toying with a plan that killed hundreds of thousands, dithering for weeks whilst people died. This really isn't about Sec of State running meetings. It's your failure as govt to take it seriously.
