It would humanise Hancock and other MPs if he accepted responsibility.

They will just blame the advisors.

Because there will be an enquiry after this chinese flu ends

Law suits / negligence claims ect

The legal profession are expecting thousands of cases

Negligence claims
Contractural claims

Jeez us do try pulling yer ead out of yer ****

 

[ajohn]

Enquires cost a lot of money. This one is likely to be staggering and cast a lot of blame on a number of people who aren't the route cause.

Well I must admit I have always considered that my talents are wasted

And I agree Trump does need people like me

But hey ho that's his loss

Transams right, it would amount to an admission of liability. Bring back the death penalty and hang all politicians. Great.

If you have a car accident and apologise, it can be taken as an admission of liability by insurance companies.
The Government has apologised, therefore they have already admitted liability.

See post #1

I see nothing.

Have the government said there were any mistakes made?
If the car crash analogy it's obvious there was a mistake, so the only question is liability. In this case the doctor may be the unfortunate but unavoidable result of a situation that was impossible to avoid entirely. Or he might have died because someone in power made a bad call.

As far as I can see it hasn't been admitted there were any mistakes made. The car has not crashed.

that's a bit unnecessary where did covid19 originate ajohn?

 

[JohnD]

In animals.

Where did Mad Cow Disease originate?

Are healthcare professionals over represented in the death figures? It doesn’t look that way. Based on the numbers who work in the industry the death toll would be around 200-400 accounting for estimated age.
