Which countries have not had a disastrous response in your view? Of comparable European countries, only Germany is doing noticeably better than we are
This is not whataboutery
This is about the UK. We had the time to get things better than they are now.
And Boris Johson saidL
In the early days of March, Mr Johnson appeared to have a casual attitude towards the virus as European leaders began warning their citizens to stop unnecessary social contact when greeting people.
At a press conference on 3 March - when the UK had less than 100 cases - he told reporters he was still shaking hands and insisted washing your hands was the “crucial thing” to avoid contracting the virus.
“I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands,” Mr Johnson said.
Mr Hancock also said the impact of shaking hands was “negligible” and argued it was okay to shake someone’s hand so long as you washed your hands “more often”.
However, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has asked people to “avoid shaking hands” to protect themselves and others from Covid-19.
What message did that send out to fans of Boris - like yourself?
