It's been reported across a lot of outlets. Lots of care homes have reported residents being asked to sign DNR form in their droves. Care homes across the country are reporting that are being dissuaded not to take residents to hospital and two managers in the article below are saying they've been flatly told they won't be admitted.

Ah so none.

I think that we can agree that the NHS would be in a much better place to cope with this Pandemic had Labour been in charge at any point in the last ten years

Dont think he would given its a hypothetical.

Its relevant because the posters you agree with tell us that things would have been all so different under him.

Thats right had Jeremy won the GE last December we wouldn't have shortages of PPE and sadly over 20,000 people wouldn't have dies from a virus that is spreading globally and the best scientists can barely keep up with, never mind politicians and their crystal balls.

By slagging the government off you are saying your side would be doing a much better job and that opinion will be discussed.

Unless of course these threads are just for slagging the Government and individual Tories off?

I've never voted Tory and never voted for Corbyn.

But I would argue pretty much ANY Tory would have handled this better than Boris.

No chance Teresa May would have been taking weekends off. No chance Gove would have been skipping 5 COBRA meetings on the bounce. No chance Jeremy Hunt would have been shaking hands with Covid patients and telling us to "take it on the chin".

Ah so none.

I don't know what your threshold of proof is. We're not in a court of law, I'm expressing my view on what has happened based on accounts of care home residents and care home managers.

If care homes are saying they've been told hospitals won't accept their residents then I'm inclined to believe them. Especially given hundreds of care residents back into care homes when all of this kicked off without even testing them for COVID19.

They are better than us at pretty much everything is the simple answer.

Not everything if you look back in history!

Not everything if you look back in history!

Hence my use of the present tense!

Do me a favour, one of the worst PM’s the country has ever had, made a complete Henry Halls of Brexit.

 

[Gray]

Hence my use of the present tense!

Fair point.

And the main thing is that none of them would have had Cummings in the background telling them what to do, with his own very specific agenda.

Has any of that had a significant effect on how things have turned out?
