Re: Dominic Cummings to make public statement this afternoon
The whole point about staying home is not to put excess pressures on the NHS away from home. He goes away and his son ends up in hospital putting pressure on the nhs in a less densely populated area.

Re: Dominic Cummings to make public statement this afternoon
Remember this - Boris Johnson heard the exact same story on Friday and came to Cummings' defence.

Re: Dominic Cummings to make public statement this afternoon
First thing to say is that the clock on the screen said 16.32 when Dominic Cummings started talking in a press briefing that we were told would start at 4 o clock. I know late attendance for these sort of things is the norm for some people, but this was an address to the country and it did not look good.
Cummings seems to believe that the anger people feel is down to how this matter has been reported. I can't speak for others, but what made me incredulous was the fact that he chose to drive 260 miles with his child while he and his wife were suffering with symptoms (albeit not a fever and continuous dry cough).
It seems to that, At the very least, the judgement Dominic Cummings showed was very questionable and worrying for the country given the role he has in the way the country is run.

Adult high-functioning autism, by the look of it. Explains his intellectual capacity, poor social skills and over-reaction to the situation whilst being protective of his wife and child. Put simply he doesn't comprehend, in terms of normal social parameters what he has done wrong. If he wasn't a senior adviser to the government, he could just as easily be living on the streets. Not an easy person to work with or get on with but you can see why Johnson wants him on the team as he does the thinking for him.
Psychiatrist....maybe. Psychologist....maybe. Counselling...definately.

Re: Dominic Cummings to make public statement this afternoon
I'm trying my best to keep a balanced view. The good thing is that he gave every journalist the opportunity to question him and I guess many of us would do the best we could for our immediate families in similar circumstances. However, he gave a ludicrous account of his visit to Barnard Castle as that clearly was against the rules whatever the circumstances. The eyesight story was plainly daft. He seemed to have selective amnesia about his discussions with Boris Johnson and questions have to be asked whether his account was honest. Whichever way you look at it he broke the rules when he went to Barnard Castle and that alone would probably have forced any other senior public servant to resign.

Questions to be asked if the account was honest? Plural?
I disagree. Just the one single question to be asked.
Q. Was the account honest?
A. No

Not sure about that. Ritalin is more for ADHD, as I understand it.

After packing up the car before heading home to London, then taking the trip to Barnard Castle to see if he was safe to drive home,they went back to Durham and headed to London the next day. Any good father would have gone to Barnard Castle for a test drive again the next day as his eye sight may have changed. Shame on him.
