    There's a little known table of what PPE has been distributed for use by the NHS in England. It shows that, in over five months, we only consumed 6.6m FFP2 facemasks. Goodness knows why we tried to buy 50m from Liz Truss' adviser, Andrew Mills.

    (https://gov.uk/government/publications/ppe-deliveries-england-27-july-to-2-august-2020/experimental-statistics-personal-protective-equipment-distributed-for-use-by-health-and-social-care-services-in-england-27-july-to-2-august-2020).

    There's a table on the link showing numbers distributed per item. There must be a large stats dept at Hancock's set up.

    The Tory knives are out for Hancock.

    Covid 19 was in the country (in York, The Wirral etc) in January. Lockdown was declared on March 23rd.

    Plus the football matches in February and March involving travel to and from Spain where the pandemic was widespread.

    Plus the Cheltenham Gold Cup on 13th March. Thousands attended these events.
