This Is Precisely Why

Hancock needed to resign!

This family abused by the rules and their son dude one day before Hancock was filmed.

Typo *abused was supposed to be *abided. However they were indeed “abused” by the rules too

[burlyshirley]

Awful, just awful. I am angry not only at that slimeball Hancock, but at the stupid rules as well. In circumstances such as this young man's, he should have been allowed visitors. He needed his family badly and they needed him.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

No wonder all this adds to the grief already experienced by so many.

At that point in his life I believe they would have risked catching Covid and if he developed it would it have mattered?

So heartbreaking for them. They and others in the same position have my full sympathy.

[eve1974]

My heart breaks too. We know how hard isolation is with acute myeloid leaukaemia is - even without covid.

My husb is in remission and was diagnosed in 2017

(This young man was 2016 before relapse last year).

The treatment to him and his family was inhumane!

A heartbreaking read, Eve. How anyone can defend or feel sorry for Hancock after reading this is beyond me.

My best wishes for your husband....x

o god I thought you MEANT abused

no I blame Univ Coll - rules is rules is rules - - oh yeah OK - they didnt know if the parents were negative and it meant letting them into a clean part of the Hospital

I would agree more if there werent repeated episdoes of Ozzies exercising their right of return to Oz, infected and THEN failing to quarantine....and you will notice in this madness, that in Oz the outbreaks are with the more and more virulent strains ....

Good thought for the day R4
( sozza fort fordda day) - some cleric started off with David and Bathsheba - David had the hots for Bathsheba and sent uriah out to battle to be killed - I say ! -
Parallel with Hancock putting his hand on some womans bottom

and how did it go for the rest of the reign or was it marred by other lapses in sense good judgement and safety for the Kingdom of Israel. Well it got me thinking

the littel bebby is the one from the other thread who dies at 7 d probably from Tetanus neonatorum

[eve1974]

Pp - yes indeed UCL must accept some of the blame too. Common sense …. And KINDNESS seems to have disappeared the moment covid cake along

[eve1974]

Also (and again passing some of the blame to ucl - blood cancer / stem cell transplant patients are in a single room ward anyway.

My Husb was in a single room ward, with 2 doors , a negative flow air system and all visitors had to be gowned and gloved before entering his room …. (Effectively a bubble as aml treatment reduces neuts to zero)So what risk to other patients to allow the poor family to visit this young man!

So sad. No wonder people are incensed!
Matt Hancock couldn't give a damn.
