YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen the UK was listening to how the Prime Minister was shaking hands with hospital patients, he was being warned by scientists against it.
Eddie Mair was speaking after revelations from some of the UK's chief scientific advisors at the Health Select Committee today on how we could have prepared better for the coronavirus pandemic.
News on the country's response and the reports of government advisors came to light and Eddie took the opportunity to point out that "today we got proof that the scientists were saying one thing and Boris Johnson was saying and doing another."
Eddie stated that Boris Johnson "chaired his first Cobra meeting on 2 March" where it has come to light that there have been recommendations to refrain from physical contact with people.
"He told us how much he was shaking hands, even with people with the virus" in a press briefing on the same day, Eddie noted. "Less than 2 weeks later there was more than 1300 cases and 35 deaths" from coronavirus.
