A US Record on Friday

Friday marked the largest number of Covid-19 fatalities in a single day in the US. And it is the only country in the world to see more than 2,000 people die in that one day. 

In the UK, there is no hiding from the fact that yesterday's announcement of 980 new deaths has surpassed Italy and Spain's worst days during this pandemic. 

That’s not the only thing to get alarmed about.

The British Medical Association had shot off a warning that many doctors were not getting the PPE they need and that they faced "heart-breaking decisions" over whether to carry on without proper protection. 

But, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock (right) told BBC Radio 4's Today program that there was enough personal protective equipment to go around if it was used in line with guidance. 

He pointed out that everyone need to treat PPE like the precious resource that it is.

Hmmm, what was he implying?
