SJ coming under fire from many for his tweet yesterday following his full recovery from his Covid-19 diagnosis. As Health Secretary he should have chosen his words more carefully and been more sensitive to those who lost loved ones, suffering long covid etc

This is the problem with people like BJ, Hancock and now Javid (Trump and Bolzarano too) they were very lucky, had the best treatment, got over mild versions of CV19 and now see this disease as nothing much to worry about it.

Yes. Trump, for example, was given a very expensive treatment.

It's also why someone decided he needed to be removed via leaking the CCTV as he wasn't in favour of fully opening up.

And yes this.

Call me a cynic but I think the word 'cower' was purposefully placed. The government do this a lot, it's neurolinguistic programming. Saiid associated cower with covid and it went viral cos it's so outrageously insensitive but the core message remains: get out there and ignore covid. It's 'what the fuckery ' politics harnessing people's outrage on social media to push a core message.
