Coronavirus Briefing Bingo

[MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing]

Hancock has said "We have been very clear" twice. If he says it again, I'm going to shout "House!"

Also looking out for 'Guided by the science' and 'The PM is working hard...'

Any more?

Clearly the citizens asking the wrong sort of question have been sifted out.

Going forward

Lessons learned

under review

Rushed through that like he had a train to catch. Not that there are any.

Tune in same time tomorrow, if you can stand it.

he'd have your eye out with that portfolio, the way he slammed it shut!

But it's an independent question selection. I thought they represented popular questions.

Which would mean many people, who expressed a preference, think they have thought of a use for Nightingales that the government haven't considered!

This isn't from the briefing, but the Number 10 response to a Guardian investigation into the handling of the Covid 19 crisis contains some bingo words....

“This is an unprecedented global pandemic and we have taken the right steps at the right time to combat it, guided by the best scientific advice. We are so grateful for the response of the public, who have helped us to slow the spread of the virus and stop the NHS from being overwhelmed. The government has been working day and night to battle coronavirus, delivering a strategy designed to protect our NHS and save lives. Herd immunity has never been a policy or goal. We have provided the NHS with all the support it needs, made sure everyone requiring treatment has received it and taken unprecedented steps to support businesses and workers, to protect the economy.”

It's the A-Team today: Johnson, Whitty and Vallence.

So will we get detail and some grown-up frank exposition of the plan, or just more bluster and the latest silly analogy about wrestling a well-lubricated ocelot or some such.

@MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing he will no doubt "ramp up" the rhetoric whilst denying that we are well on the way to have the highest death rate in the world. Go Boris go, go , go

It's the A-Team today: Johnson, Whitty and Vallence.

Is this a definite? Cant wait to hear Whitty say we can't leave our homes for a calendar year again

Jane excellent quote .Sure it's not from Private Eye ?

Does Jenny Harries' use of "so" at the start of every sentence count ?

The big question today is ... will Bojo level with us?

Oh can I have a £40 each way bet on a special guest appearance for “straining every sinew” today please?

'Unprecedented' aaaargh,

How many times will we here the famous 3 line slogan?!! Sick of having it said to me like I’m a child

Will he cough at any point ? If so how many ? I'm saying yes and 5 ...

“Keep Going“
