Hancock & all those care home deaths...
Jump to: Newest in thread

"Hancock apparently released a bunch of - possibly all - of his whatsapp messages to Oakeshott when she was helping him wrie his self-serving, shitty Pandemic Diaries. Oakeshott just leaked them to the Telegraph. They seem to show Hancock ignored the chief medical officer's advice to test all residents entering care homes for Covid. So Hancock seems to be complicit in tens of thousands of care home deaths. (Oakeshott's a self-serving shit too. But at least she hasn't - as far as I know - been involved in tens of thousands of deaths.)" I despise Hancock but testing would not have stopped those deaths. The vast majority of people in care homes are in their final days/weeks/months of their lives. They are generally the most susceptible to illness as they often have multiple Co-morbidities. Any death is sad but testing would not have stopped those deaths as they would more than likely have died anyway. I think some people have forgotten that people in their 80s/90s are at the very end of their lives and very few leave a care home to go home…. Blunt I know but it is a fact of life. The most cruel thing they did was not allowing relatives/friends in to visit these people in their final days. That was absolutely wicked!! | |||

For those whose loved ones died if Hancock ignored clear medical advice, I suspect they'll want better than a shrug &: ah they were old anyway. | |||

"I think the big take away here is medical advisors advise, ministers decide. This hierarchy needs to be reviewed in my opinion. At the very start of the pandemic should we have followed medical advice and once information became available that represented a more wider view of impact and how society is managing, it then transfers to ministers. " Most of the advice seemed to come from SAGE, which had a lot of communist behavioural scientists and seriously poor modelling. | |||
| |||
"'leaked WhatsApp messages'.. Publicity perhaps for his book?" Pretty unlikely, given what they seem to portray. But who knows? The likes of Hancock mix a gobsmacking amount of nastiness, arrogance & incompetence. At this point, I'm not sure what they could do that would shock me. | |||

" Not sure of the SAGE make up, but in my opinion there needs to be better qualified people on the ministerial side to make decisions. Hancock has no medical experience or understandings as secretory of state for health and social care, he is the budget man. He should have had input but ultimately been the signature only, until such a point a degree of control is reached. | |||

Seriously folks, sometimes we need to put our political drums to the side so we can stop banging them and instead remember we might be discussing human beings and people’s genuine emotions.
If Matt Hancock had been a Company CEO this evidence (rather than hearsay and suspicion) would make him culpable for Corporate Manslaughter charges.
Bit more compassion needed at times I think! | |||
"Hancock apparently released a bunch of - possibly all - of his whatsapp messages to Oakeshott when she was helping him wrie his self-serving, shitty Pandemic Diaries. Oakeshott just leaked them to the Telegraph. They seem to show Hancock ignored the chief medical officer's advice to test all residents entering care homes for Covid. So Hancock seems to be complicit in tens of thousands of care home deaths. (Oakeshott's a self-serving shit too. But at least she hasn't - as far as I know - been involved in tens of thousands of deaths.)" So, evidence of something that was denied. WhatsApp is clearly a serious problem for transparency in Government. | |||

We haven't learnt anything by this 'leak', we've known for a long time that patients were released against advice.
You're not the only person to have lost a loved one, plenty of us did.
To be clear, I always do and will continue to laugh at your faux outrage.
Faux outrage? No, this is real outrage. It's real disgust.
Please do me a favour & stop talking to me on this thread.
You're outraged and disgusted today by something we've known for at least a year.
You do you. I'll stop now
I'm interested in why you claimed that this was "faux" outrage.
Can you not remain outraged about something you have known about for some time?
Are racism or sexism or the holocaust well known things that should not create outrage?
Do you think that you might be minimising someone's feelings because you dislike them for some reason?
I claimed it was faux outrage because said poster has form. He seems to think this is new information and that is the reason for his 'outrage'. No objectivity, no questions as to why this journalist would release now, after a year, just a straight 'I hate the fucking tories so will find a reason to be outraged'
Not sure why you're bringing sexism, racism etc into it, if there was new information of course you can be outraged, but there isn't.
As for minimising his feelings, nope, I can't feel sorry for faux outrage.
That was actually the point.
"We haven't learnt anything by this 'leak', we've known for a long time..."
You can still be genuinely outraged with no new information, just something to remind you of the problem. Hence the reference to sexism etc.
So you are using it as a argumentative tool because you dislike them. Can they really not feel so strongly on these topics even though you don't?
If we want to pick on what I'm 'using' I initially told him that the other poster was laughing at him and not the topic.
He chose to respond in the way he did. That's not my problem.
As far as 'That's the point', I think you've missed the point. He seems to think this is new information to be outraged about"Hmmm I don’t agree with your take on this. The leaking of Whatsapp messages is the new news. It confirms what we thought we knew (for various reasons) but THIS info is new. So I think the outrage is well placed as it justifiably re-raises the issue. | |||
"'leaked WhatsApp messages'.. Publicity perhaps for his book? Pretty unlikely, given what they seem to portray. But who knows? The likes of Hancock mix a gobsmacking amount of nastiness, arrogance & incompetence. At this point, I'm not sure what they could do that would shock me. I don't know what you would do with yourself if they didn't shock you, you need them more than they need you
Yep tens of thousands of deaths is a good reason for jollity...
Oh dear, Cheer up, the news has given you what you enjoy
Cheer up? No. Tens of thousands of deaths.
This is not new news to you is it? You have been banging this drum for a while, so why the apparent shock again, does this news have this effect on you every time it is makes the headlines?
And for the record, I'm not down playing and I have huge sympathy for those people who lost their lives and their families.
So maybe give up on the laughing & joking for this sort of topic. Otherwise your words ring hollow.
He's definitely taking the piss out of your faux outrage and not the subject, that's clear to see
And now you're laughing. Lovely.

Hmmm I don’t agree with your take on this. The leaking of Whatsapp messages is the new news. It confirms what we thought we knew (for various reasons) but THIS info is new. So I think the outrage is well placed as it justifiably re-raises the issue."This is from an article dated Apr22: Public Health England advised the Government in March 2020 against allowing hospital patients who may have had Covid-19 who did not have symptoms to be transferred from hospitals to care homes – but this was overruled by ministers or officials, it has emerged. This is not new 'news'. Have we even seen these WhatsApp messages? Or are we just believing the journalist without question? All I have seen is isolated messages. | |||

"Hancock apparently released a bunch of - possibly all - of his whatsapp messages to Oakeshott when she was helping him wrie his self-serving, shitty Pandemic Diaries. Oakeshott just leaked them to the Telegraph. They seem to show Hancock ignored the chief medical officer's advice to test all residents entering care homes for Covid. So Hancock seems to be complicit in tens of thousands of care home deaths. (Oakeshott's a self-serving shit too. But at least she hasn't - as far as I know - been involved in tens of thousands of deaths.)" Bring back the death sentence | |||

They were clearly provided confidentially so shouldn't be shared. However, if they had been dug up for the purposes of discovering what really happened then it would be good, investigative journalism. | |||

Hancock was advised by medical experts to not move untested elderly patients into care homes. He still ordered it done. No hindsight is needed here.

"'leaked WhatsApp messages'.. Publicity perhaps for his book? Pretty unlikely, given what they seem to portray. But who knows? The likes of Hancock mix a gobsmacking amount of nastiness, arrogance & incompetence. At this point, I'm not sure what they could do that would shock me. I don't know what you would do with yourself if they didn't shock you, you need them more than they need you
Yep tens of thousands of deaths is a good reason for jollity...
Oh dear, Cheer up, the news has given you what you enjoy
Cheer up? No. Tens of thousands of deaths.
This is not new news to you is it? You have been banging this drum for a while, so why the apparent shock again, does this news have this effect on you every time it is makes the headlines?
And for the record, I'm not down playing and I have huge sympathy for those people who lost their lives and their families.
So maybe give up on the laughing & joking for this sort of topic. Otherwise your words ring hollow.
He's definitely taking the piss out of your faux outrage and not the subject, that's clear to see
And now you're laughing. Lovely.
To be clear, I lost a loved 1 in a care home with Covid. At a time when Hancock discharged patients without testing. Now, as it seems we've learned, against expert advice.
So maybe it's best not to laugh & say I'm displaying faux fucking outrage over this.
We haven't learnt anything by this 'leak', we've known for a long time that patients were released against advice.
You're not the only person to have lost a loved one, plenty of us did.
To be clear, I always do and will continue to laugh at your faux outrage.
Me too. The poster has considerable form and we have all lost people to COVID-19. I'm sorry for his loss if he's sorry for mine - that seems fair.
One of my friends is an undertaker and says apart from mild upticks in May 2020 and January/February 2021, he dealt with the same number of over 75s as he's done over the last 30 years. Human beings are not designed to live forever.
Excess mortality is to be expected in a global pandemic and all I can see is people working incredibly hard to save lives and develop a vaccine as fast as possible. The self righteous lefties with wonderful hindsight on here are just out to make political capital. If they have all the answers, why are they not in Govt /public service? They seem content having made significant money in various property /start up schemes, boasting they need not now put in regular hours. 'My money works for me' has been quoted more than once by one poster, who sounds like he'd be more at home in the House of Lords! The epitome of capitalist Tories! But they're posing as socialists living the holier-than-though, left leaning, wokerati dream!

People will vote for and defend the Tories, even if it leads them to an early grave.
That's the power of their PR machine and the press that support them. Astounding.

He's definitely taking the piss out of your faux outrage and not the subject, that's clear to see
And now you're laughing. Lovely.
To be clear, I lost a loved 1 in a care home with Covid. At a time when Hancock discharged patients without testing. Now, as it seems we've learned, against expert advice.
So maybe it's best not to laugh & say I'm displaying faux fucking outrage over this.
We haven't learnt anything by this 'leak', we've known for a long time that patients were released against advice.
You're not the only person to have lost a loved one, plenty of us did.
To be clear, I always do and will continue to laugh at your faux outrage.
Me too. The poster has considerable form and we have all lost people to COVID-19. I'm sorry for his loss if he's sorry for mine - that seems fair.
One of my friends is an undertaker and says apart from mild upticks in May 2020 and January/February 2021, he dealt with the same number of over 75s as he's done over the last 30 years. Human beings are not designed to live forever.
Excess mortality is to be expected in a global pandemic and all I can see is people working incredibly hard to save lives and develop a vaccine as fast as possible. The self righteous lefties with wonderful hindsight on here are just out to make political capital. If they have all the answers, why are they not in Govt /public service? They seem content having made significant money in various property /start up schemes, boasting they need not now put in regular hours. 'My money works for me' has been quoted more than once by one poster, who sounds like he'd be more at home in the House of Lords! The epitome of capitalist Tories! But they're posing as socialists living the holier-than-though, left leaning, wokerati dream!
I've seen nothing compelling to suggest we made a worse fist of it than other comparable countries. On the contrary, our vaccines programme has been quicker and overall superb
Which poster are you quoting saying “my money works for me”?
The cap will fit him as appropriate.
Not sure I have seen anyone post that point you quoted though?
It was aimed at me, I posted it in response to an accusation that I was unemployed, tories seem to think that they are the only ones who have any money "If you go to the thread you will see I made no such comment to you personally about being 'unemployed'. Interesting why you should consider it 'an accusation' and talk about things being 'aimed' at you. Your use of weopanry-based language is odd. If you use a phrase, which you presumably want people to read it's odd, if they later quote it back to you, to use 'aimed'. You said it, own it and I'm happy for you btw! I'm a Tory so why wouldn't I be? As Mandy once said, I'm intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich. Even lefty Mancunians | |||
" This was my only singular post on the subject. So I guess you would struggle to argue they are getting "increasingly paranoid". But yes, this reinforces my point.

Okay.
On other threads too, you display a kind of fear that some strange PR machine is at work at Tory HQ, instructing people to vote blue. You also display a kind of fear that the Tories will sneak a last minute victory at the 24/25 GE because of this, despite current polls. You don't seem to credit people with independent thought of mind and the ability to weigh things up and decide for themselves, based on many factors.
It is my opinion yes. Why do you think people relentlessly vote against their own interests?
But then you're a dyed in the wool remainer
Yes, I did vote against the brexit clusterfuck. Not sure what this has to do with anything. But I do appreciate not using "remoaner". It makes dialogue much better. "I'm sure a man like you can handle 'remoaner' if Brexit voters can handle what's thrown at them. Chiefly by the Remain side. | |||

I don't know what you would do with yourself if they didn't shock you, you need them more than they need you
Yep tens of thousands of deaths is a good reason for jollity...

Fair or not? It was akin to moving a fox into the hen house to stop it shitting in your garden. No hindsight needed. Bloody obvious common sense! That is not the question I need to ask, you have got it wrong. Patients moving to care homes from hospitals were tested and isolated until they had the results. Patients from their private homes were not tested. Those patients in a home setting should have been in their own bubbles, they should have been shielding as per the advice given. Those moves from hospitals to care homes were not tested early in the pandemic. There were no tests. I don't believe that there were any new transfers to care homes for much of the pandemic. It was only returns and this was almost completely from hospitals. Those arriving from hospitals into care homes were tested, when test were available. Chris Whitty advised that those coming from private homes be tested too, Hancock agreed then pulled it, only testing those arriving from hospital. At the time those at home should have been isolating under the shielding advice. In theory they should be clear if they followed the guidance as being vulnerable What are you expecting anyone to say? The person that you responded to did not advocate not testing people coming to care homes from private homes. The problem was caused early in the pandemic when there was no testing and no movement from private homes. Are you not having a different discussion? No, not at all, I'm very clear thank you. The NAO reported: “Due to government policy at the time, not all patients were tested for covid-19 before discharge, with priority given to patients with symptoms. On 15 April 2020, the policy was changed to test all those being discharged into care homes." Before the new policy of testing everyone before their admission to care homes was rolled out, around 25?000 people were discharged from NHS hospitals to care between 17 March and 15 April, the NAO said. | |||
"'leaked WhatsApp messages'.. Publicity perhaps for his book? Pretty unlikely, given what they seem to portray. But who knows? The likes of Hancock mix a gobsmacking amount of nastiness, arrogance & incompetence. At this point, I'm not sure what they could do that would shock me. I don't know what you would do with yourself if they didn't shock you, you need them more than they need you
Yep tens of thousands of deaths is a good reason for jollity...
Oh dear, Cheer up, the news has given you what you enjoy
Cheer up? No. Tens of thousands of deaths.
This is not new news to you is it? You have been banging this drum for a while, so why the apparent shock again, does this news have this effect on you every time it is makes the headlines?
And for the record, I'm not down playing and I have huge sympathy for those people who lost their lives and their families.
So maybe give up on the laughing & joking for this sort of topic. Otherwise your words ring hollow.
He's definitely taking the piss out of your faux outrage and not the subject, that's clear to see
And now you're laughing. Lovely.
To be clear, I lost a loved 1 in a care home with Covid. At a time when Hancock discharged patients without testing. Now, as it seems we've learned, against expert advice.
So maybe it's best not to laugh & say I'm displaying faux fucking outrage over this.
We haven't learnt anything by this 'leak', we've known for a long time that patients were released against advice.
You're not the only person to have lost a loved one, plenty of us did.
To be clear, I always do and will continue to laugh at your faux outrage.
Me too. The poster has considerable form and we have all lost people to COVID-19. I'm sorry for his loss if he's sorry for mine - that seems fair.
One of my friends is an undertaker and says apart from mild upticks in May 2020 and January/February 2021, he dealt with the same number of over 75s as he's done over the last 30 years. Human beings are not designed to live forever.
Excess mortality is to be expected in a global pandemic and all I can see is people working incredibly hard to save lives and develop a vaccine as fast as possible. The self righteous lefties with wonderful hindsight on here are just out to make political capital. If they have all the answers, why are they not in Govt /public service? They seem content having made significant money in various property /start up schemes, boasting they need not now put in regular hours. 'My money works for me' has been quoted more than once by one poster, who sounds like he'd be more at home in the House of Lords! The epitome of capitalist Tories! But they're posing as socialists living the holier-than-though, left leaning, wokerati dream!
I've seen nothing compelling to suggest we made a worse fist of it than other comparable countries. On the contrary, our vaccines programme has been quicker and overall superb
Which poster are you quoting saying “my money works for me”?
The cap will fit him as appropriate. "The cap fitted our socialist commentator an absolute treat | |||

Very true, however there is ridiculing the mistakes and learning from them. Trying to score political points from mistakes is poor in my opinion.

Hancock decided to ignore expert advice AT THE TIME. His decision to share confidential Whatsapp messages (when it is conversations between Ministers and Officials it would be classed as at least OFFICIAL SENSITIVE) with a person like Oakenshot shows yet again how poor his judgement is. A classic example of someone promoted beyond their ability. The ONLY reason he held a Ministerial position was his support of Johnson. He wouldn’t have even been allowed to carry Thatcher or Major’s umbrella! | |||
| |||
"The back & forths are too long now, so I'll sum up my position. The thing that makes me angriest is that Hancock apparently ignored Whitty's advice to test all people before sending them into care homes. And we saw how that tuned out. Tens of thousands died. Worse, the leaked messages seem to show Hancock was more interested in hitting an arbritary target elsewhere & get headlines. So he's complicit in tens of thousands of deaths while he was chasing headlines. Oh and remember Hancock also seemed to be engaging in corruption to get a mate a huge Covid contract. Oh and Hancock was busy shagging his mistress, who was paid for by us, while millions of us couldn't even see our dying loved ones. I despise this man."
Although there will be some who still accuse you of “political point scoring” | |||
"Oh and Hancock was busy shagging his mistress, who was paid for by us, while millions of us couldn't even see our dying loved ones." I really don't get this attitude. Are you really saying that Hancock should have refrained from having sex, just to set a good example in those difficult times? The idea that someone should be vilified just because they had a good time while others suffered sounds suspiciously like jealousy to me. | |||

"Hancock apparently released a bunch of - possibly all - of his whatsapp messages to Oakeshott when she was helping him wrie his self-serving, shitty Pandemic Diaries. Oakeshott just leaked them to the Telegraph. They seem to show Hancock ignored the chief medical officer's advice to test all residents entering care homes for Covid. So Hancock seems to be complicit in tens of thousands of care home deaths. (Oakeshott's a self-serving shit too. But at least she hasn't - as far as I know - been involved in tens of thousands of deaths.) I despise Hancock but testing would not have stopped those deaths. The vast majority of people in care homes are in their final days/weeks/months of their lives. They are generally the most susceptible to illness as they often have multiple Co-morbidities. Any death is sad but testing would not have stopped those deaths as they would more than likely have died anyway. I think some people have forgotten that people in their 80s/90s are at the very end of their lives and very few leave a care home to go home…. Blunt I know but it is a fact of life. The most cruel thing they did was not allowing relatives/friends in to visit these people in their final days. That was absolutely wicked!!" That must be sicks and saddest comment i have ever read on here what a disgusting person you are , think you need to have a good long hard look at yourself. Would you think the same if that was a member of your own family | |||

Not very pedantic of you! There were rules around household bubbles and distance and all sorts at that time. This also happened after Hancock had condemned the scientist (whose name I can’t remember) for meeting up with his girlfriend (who lived in a different house/place). Context is everything.

I guess "common sense" is all that's really needed during a global pandemic...what are u talking about easy? I mentioned nothing about drs, i dont listen to politicians, im surprised most people belive any thing they say,amount on here that call the torys corrupt liars yet they all listend to them without question for two years, like i said thats on them for believing what they were saying" Except for a brief moment at the start of the pandemic it felt like we were on a “war footing” all in it together and our Government might actually have all our best interests at heart. Then it started to become apparent that the rules they were insisting we followed did not apply to them and that they had realised there was an unprecedented opportunity to cash in and get rich. Early on I would say 95% of people followed the rules. | |||
"Oh and Hancock was busy shagging his mistress, who was paid for by us, while millions of us couldn't even see our dying loved ones. I really don't get this attitude. Are you really saying that Hancock should have refrained from having sex, just to set a good example in those difficult times? The idea that someone should be vilified just because they had a good time while others suffered sounds suspiciously like jealousy to me.

What we had was the medical information as interpreted by "corrupt liars" and given as advice or law. How did you know what was and was not safe for yourself and for others? In that the medical advice would appear to have been watered down, the fact that our leaders were not even bothered with that due to how special they felt is what is telling. | |||
"Oh and Hancock was busy shagging his mistress, who was paid for by us, while millions of us couldn't even see our dying loved ones." "I really don't get this attitude.

The idea that someone should be vilified just because they had a good time while others suffered sounds suspiciously like jealousy to me." "Talk about taking things out of context. Not very pedantic of you! There were rules around household bubbles and distance and all sorts at that time. This also happened after Hancock had condemned the scientist (whose name I can’t remember) for meeting up with his girlfriend (who lived in a different house/place). Context is everything. You know that! " You seem to have forgotten the context that the woman Hancock had an affair with was one of his staff. They were allowed to be together, both in and out of the office. No covid rules were broken. If you want to complain that he shouldn't be having sexual contact with an employee, I will agree. If you want to complain that he is morally lax, I will agree. But if you're complaining that he had consensual sex, with a woman that he was allowed to be with, and that this is disgusting because other people were suffering at the time, then I'm going to disagree with you on that point. | |||
"Early on I would say 95% of people followed the rules. " That depends very much on where you were. I went to Cardiff during the first lockdown, and it was practically deserted. Your 95% figure certainly applied there. But back in my own town, 15 miles north, life carried on as though it were a long bank holiday. Traffic was about half of normal levels, people were visiting each other, and the main street was full of people chatting. In my own town I'd guess that about half of the people followed the rules. | |||

"I'm wondering if he was smart enough to have insisted on an NDA being signed by the journalist before handing over his whatsapp messages. If he did then he should sue her. If not then he truely is incompetent and I'd question his judgment." Apparently she acknowledged that there was an NDA in place. Her reputation as a "journalist" such as it was is done. Who's going to talk to her again as a journalist other than for friendly right wing puff pieces? Politics beckons. | |||

If you want to take the pedantic route of what the rules state rather than there intent, then you are correct. The reality is that "contact" with colleagues was never intended to cover having sex and when you are a leader you do so in large part by example. Especially at a time of crisis. So, pretending that this does not send the wrong message is laughable. Just as much as claiming that it was necessary to drive to Barnard Castle for a daytrip to test your eyes or have a party that was not a party because you were under so much stress and needed it. | |||

CBA to go back digging but the “bubble rules” were broken despite working together. Couldn’t care less if the little slimeball was shagging anyone, but the hypocrisy was astounding. | |||

I said that criticising Hancock for having sex while other people suffered is a ridiculous position to take. There are plenty of reasons to criticise Hancock, but that isn't a sensible one. | |||

The pedantic route of being correct?
Really? Come on. If you accept he's correct then there really is no need to try belittle him being correct. That's low, even for you. | |||
