"Christmas Day rules could include a ban on arguing or hugging"

The Health Secretary has hinted at what the rules could be



A scientist has questioned whether arguing could be banned at Christmas in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus.

And the Health Secretary has appeared to rule out hugging.

University of Cambridge professor Sir David Spiegelhalter said 'there will be a lot of guidance over what to do' if coronavirus lockdown rules are eased over Christmas.

It has been suggested the Government could ease lockdown rules for five days over the festive season.

The advice from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) is that each day of relaxation of coronavirus rules at Christmas could need five days of tighter restrictions. Prof Spiegelhalter said that “doesn’t sound implausible”.

He said that good ventilation and distance will be recommended and added: "I wonder if they will ban singing, or a rule against family rows at Christmas to prevent the spread of the disease."

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has appeared to rule out hugging relatives and friends at Christmas, as he said there were “promising signs” the current lockdown in England is working.

The Health Secretary said rules would still need to be in place over the festive period, with people observing social distancing as families come together.

Speaking on Times Radio, Mr Hancock said discussions with the devolved nations are continuing with the aim of reaching agreement on how people can celebrate the festive period.

He said there was a need to “respect the fact that we mustn’t spread the virus further but also respect the fact that Christmas is a special time where people get together, especially with their families”.

I've often thought Hancock was rather dim and promoted above his very mediocre ability. Every time I see something like this it reinforces my view of him. Thick as pig sh*t and twice as dense.

I was being polite, Melisandre. My true views of him (and most of the other 649 parasites) would get me banned.

The hugging ban won't be a problem in my family, I'd love to see anyone try and stop us from arguing though!

I thought you were Rebbonk . Hancock smug smiling face every time he comes on I would love to slap as if he is laughing at all the sheep that swollow his garbage. I notice all the riots on this abroard are not being reported in the main press or tv news its only on you tube or tic tok.

I think Father Christmas should therefore drop you off a referee.
