One effect of the unprecedented socioeconomic impact of Covid-19 has been to catapult the secretary of state for health and social care to the forefront of British politics. For the long month of April, with the prime minister either in intensive care with the disease or recuperating in isolation, there was no one with a more prominent government profile than Matt Hancock.
If you think what Hancock has done in a few months, he will go down as one of the most progressive. Nightingales, PPE logistics to 68k! sites, 3 mega test labs & testing to 120k & soon 200k, Bringing together health & care sectors, massive task in itsself. Major accomplishments
My dad, a former director at HHS, said you would have to be nuts to go for that gig. 😂
