Sajid Javid ruling out a return to masks and working from home “at this point” because no 10 prefers to let things get much worse before doing the U turn 🙄

I am sure the families of the 100-200 people who are dying of COVID everyday will take great comfort that they were one of the “mercifully low” numbers as Sajid Javed puts it. Or as Jenny Harries puts it at the same presser “a very high death toll”.

Summary of Javid’s #DowningStreetBriefing: Cases are rising, deaths are rising and people are worried that the government isn’t doing anything, but I’m telling you that cases are rising and deaths are rising, which means the government has done something, so don’t worry…

A sombre press conference in which the Health Secretary sombrely announced the sombre rise in cases, hospitalisations and deaths and sombrely declared that the Government have taken the sombre decision to do fuck all about it. https://t.co/jXleWFz1hz
