He really just said that theres a rise in young people with covid and then said schools are safe




It's big brain time

[keeli]

Younger people? Don't younger people go to school? Shocker

[tallulahmellin]

Funny this happens as soon as schools open again...

[cosmikdebris]

The virus is SO intelligent. It knows not to enter 'Covid-secure' places.

[nahidahmed]

How was school secured I don’t see any different to mine

[raeesakhtar]

He just repeats himself throughout this whole interview... Embarrassing...

[dhtelevision]

It won’t be long until we see that dreaded “stay home” advert again probably this autumn.

[devonalexandra]

His expression when he talks is like he's hearing himself talk for the first time and is surprised by each word he says

[stanjdc]

More to younger people than close the schools again!

Social Distancing: exists

3/4 of the country: we dont do that here

[JessicaZanerealz]

Something seems fishy with this whole Corona thing at this point. Like something is being hidden from us.

[stavers]

Is just me or has he repeated the same nonsense 4 times. I think he's a clone 🤔

[ryamcable]

How is a cafe/bar/restaurant covid secure? Nothing has changed, what a joke

[Sodmylife]

This man I believe is stuck in a time loop, he keeps repeating himself after every question... Someone help him!

[paulhoskin]

Does this mean that everyone going on holiday have to quarantine themselves for two weeks now

[ChosenMan]

Don't care about cases. Show us the deaths compared to cases. The cases don't mean anything

[ChrisHFal]

Yes but the death rate is low and the number of people in hospital is low. Open society NOW

[apassionfortangling]

Cases, cases, cases. 310 dead under 60 is not a pandemic 🤬

[apassionfortangling]

It's just for 3 weeks to flatten the curve 🤬

The government has failed people so drastically. Very tragic.
