Probably a very basic question and one that I really should know as a citizen?!

Very surprised with Simon Harris on this, made him look a bit silly when he has being doing a very good job overall IMHO. Then again, its probably not a big deal in the overall scheme of things.
A schoolboy error. Poor really.Very surprised with Simon Harris on this, made him look a bit silly

Is it really poor? It was silly but in the context of his performance over the last few weeks it was a minor blip in an otherwise excellent showing.A schoolboy error. Poor really.
They are far from perfect but it's a case of looking at how others have dealt with it. Bearing in mind that we don't have a military that can respond to this sort of thing and we don't have much in the way of disaster planning I think that they have done a better job than most. I do agree on the Rugby match and the idiots who went to Cheltenham should have been left there.Time, and a review in the aftermath, will tell. They are good at the optics and they are getting a good press. While they can't be expected to get everything right and hindsight is 20/20 there is plenty they could have done better.
They were too woolly re the Rugby match, should have stopped flights from China, Italy and other places, should have insisted that anyone traveling to Cheltenham self-quarantine on return. The trumpeted PPE order seem to have been a bit of a snafu. They seem to have dropped the ball on nursing homes. Testing has been a start/stop mess. Closer to average than excellent methinks, albeit, no doubt, a minority opinion.
These are the same issues pretty much every country has had. Nursing home deaths are a huge percentage of the deaths in most countries but not all countries are including them in their totals. Similar issues with PPE and testing in most countries. The approach has (so far) prevented the ICUs being overrun which was a big concern initially. Of course they could have done some things better but I do think overall its probably well above average.Time, and a review in the aftermath, will tell.

I think that's unfair. A minor slip of the tongue from someone who has been working 24/7 for over a month. It's not as if he suggested we inject ourselves with disinfectant
Was it Michael Healy Rea when asked what he thought of the Covid-19, replied that he thought they were all innocent.
I did go on to say that he was doing a very good job and its probably not a big issue overall but people slated the woman in the US (Conway?) who made a similar remark.
Then why mention it at all ?
If you want to engage in slating Kellyanne Conway, then game on ! But this is a COVID-19 thread.
Not only did they not order the correct PPE, but it was distributed to field operatives before that was noticed.
