Given the latest statement by
the PM that it will all be over by Christmas, this
report on 19th March (a mere 17 weeks ago) claiming
that he had said that the virus would be “sent packing” in 12 weeks must
obviously have been fake news. Either that, or it took place in an alternative
reality (perhaps the same one which Matt Hancock inhabits in which the lockdown
started on 16th
March rather than the 23rd). But given his predilection for history,
especially of the war variety, perhaps the PM has accidentally been almost
semi-honest. The last time something was all going to be ‘over by Christmas’ it
actually lasted another 4 years and cost 20
million lives, almost a million of them from the UK. With his, at best, passing relationship with the truth anyway, the allusion to the phrase ‘over by
Christmas’ might just be an inadvertent revelation of a rather more ominous expectation.
