@MurrayTheMonk I’m also in North Herts. Please pm me if there’s anything I can do. I’m in the 12 week group so stuck at home and have plenty of free time on my hands. If I can help with following up leads, contacting people etc then I’d be more than happy to.

This is the Harrow group. would it be worth contacting them to see if they have any contacts in north herts? We're really not that far.

Absolute propaganda on the BBC right now =/

MurrayTheMonk · 02/04/2020 17:10

Thankyou HHH3! Will do!

TheBenefitsPeople · 02/04/2020 17:11

How is Hancock out? Shouldn't he still be isolating?

Absolute propaganda on the BBC right now

What has been said?

HeIenaDove · 02/04/2020 17:17

If the politicians dont lead by example and isolate for the recomended amount of time there will be members of the public who think "hang on why is it one rule for them and another for me" and will go out when they shouldnt. But also the politicians wont be going short of food.

HeIenaDove · 02/04/2020 17:21

@MurrayTheMonk I am so so angry about the situation you are in You absolutely should not be bloody queuing

HeIenaDove · 02/04/2020 17:22

Murray, I wish we could do something for you. You're a bloody brick you are. FlowersWineBrewCakeStarGin

@refraction talking about the "clap for NHS" this evening with very little mention of what the NHS actually need. The tone of it felt very much like propaganda.

Press conference very late today!

SansaSnark · 02/04/2020 17:28

Matt Hancock is out, must be over his 7 days.

Horehound · 02/04/2020 17:30

I like Matt Hancock

mrshoho · 02/04/2020 17:32

Helena I signed the RNIB petition. It is a real struggle for visually impaired currently trying to sort out food deliveries.

SansaSnark · 02/04/2020 17:32

Not sure describing NHS frontline staff as his colleagues is going to go down well.

ChiaraRimini · 02/04/2020 17:33

@Murray, search (town name) Coronavirus in Facebook and filter for groups, there seem to be one in all north herts towns, I'm sure they could help

SansaSnark · 02/04/2020 17:34

How the hell does the NHS have debt that the government is able to write off?

Cuddling57 · 02/04/2020 17:38

Matt Hancock breathing heavily in this briefing.

mrshoho · 02/04/2020 17:42

He reminds me of my kid's head teacher from primary school delivering an assembly. Holding up his fingers in case we have trouble counting. Grin

MarshaBradyo · 02/04/2020 17:43

Sounds good, wish it had been much earlier.

Delatron · 02/04/2020 17:45

Yep all this would have been great in January, when we knew what was heading our way..

SansaSnark · 02/04/2020 17:46

I hope everything he is promising is actually possible.

TheBenefitsPeople · 02/04/2020 17:47

@MarshaBradyo I agree. Matt Hancock sound sound decisive and on top of things. Why did they wait until the press gave them a hammering to take these steps? Surely these issues should have been being addressed weeks ago?

refraction · 02/04/2020 17:49

Would like to know how Matt Hancock found it. Seems like he was one of the lucky ones to have it ' mild'

Delatron · 02/04/2020 17:52

Yes he’s not even coughing now. He looks quite well.
