You couldn't make it up:
The UK health minister, Gillian Keegan, has apologised after admitting to continuing a visit after receiving a positive Covid test.
The MP for Chichester, who said she is isolating at home and feels fine, said she “took precautions” after getting her result, but “with their consent” carried on the meeting.

Think it's more arrogance and selfishness on her part.
The vast majority of vaccinated, fully understand that they can both catch it, and spread it and as such should isolate to prevent spread.
Many also understand that the vaccination is to help themselves, not others to have a better outcome and avoid clogging hospital beds if they have caught it. |

She was meeting with 3 fathers who had lost their daughters to suicide.
She told them of the result and took further precautions and they gave their consent to continue so she could hear their stories.

"What happened to the Scottish MP who tested positive then went home on the train ?
looks like she going court"
Yes Margaret Ferrier has been charged with culpable and reckless conduct and will appear in court in August |

Consent has nothing to do with it, the law is clear.
Just hope the fathers haven't taken it home and infected others else it might not be just their daughters they are grieving.. |

"Why did the Health Minister start the meeting without waiting for her result? Why didn't she do it at home before travelling ?"
Because she is different, or as I am wondering since party gate. are they aware of the risks? why wasn't she afraid of putting others at risk, why are they acting the opposite from what they they advised us.
its all a mystery to me, just a mystery. |

I have just read the government guidelines. "If your lateral flow test is positive you must self-isolate immediately to prevent spreading the virus to others"
It doesn't say "ask consent of others then continue with extra precautions" |

"Health Minister ignores Government and NHS guidelines. Not such a good headline "
Well, well lets have an investigation and if not call the police, whilst I spin this story into footballer kicking cats.
kicking cats is awful, and sure to turn my head whilst Boris pulls his pants down moons me, then high fives the chancellor. ha |

Regardless what the law says, don’t you guys find it interesting that throughout pandemic, the people who supposed to know the best didn’t actually give a dime about Covid? And not just one or two but nearly all of them and in numerous occasions. |

If she took a precautionary PCR test - she would not know when the result would come through.
As the result came during the meeting - the visitors would already have been exposed where she didn't know the result. |

It was a lateral flow test so she should have waited 30 minutes after taking the test to see the result before going in to the meeting. |

As I wrote earlier in this thread, it is a mystery.
but good to question |

"What goes on with these people ? All she has to do was cancel the meeting after all she would not be losing out financially  "
Not excusing it in any way...
But it could be that the 3 parents she was meeting have been looking to this meeting for months and months... And to cancel it would have damaged them more.
As I said I'm not making any excuses but sometimes we have to remember people are human and the other parties of the meeting could have very much wanted to continue. But it certainly doesn't look very clever. |

What about the MP who wanted to be with his wife as both their twin sons died but he wasn't allowed. |

Will be even more damaged if they've taken infection home to their families.
The ruling is clear.
An LFT will usually show within 2 to 15 minutes a positive result, especially Omicron.
Health Secretary support her?
Matt Hancock didn't support the SNP MP, they demanded her resignation then again, he got caught with his tongue down his PA'S throat. |

The irony is that she did the LFT to be careful and vigilant but couldn't be bothered to wait for the result without pushing on with the meeting. Then got the text during the meeting but had started any way! DUH. Why did she bother to test if she isn't going to wait for the result.
Maybe they just test because the rules say so without the need to see what the result is  |

Well yes. I'm sure there are many many heart wrenching examples that others have endured. . I just read some of these threads and there's so much hate and anger directed towards strangers. I wasn't able to be with my mum but no amount of me hating on other people's dilemnas changes that. A bit of humanity is helpful. There's so much of this "gotcha" gesturing at the moment it's hard to distinguish the important stuff from the noise. |

"how did this incident get into the public domain?
She apologised on Twitter. Obviously the three members of the public at the meeting knew she was positive because she told them. "
would you expect a politician to voluntarily announce a mistake such as this or to not mention it unless it comes out in the media? |

Ahhh we didn't know what TEST was carried out but routine PCRs tend to be reserved for specific functions and employments. Also a time and date when this happened would help

Too sensible and responsible an approach, sorry. She's in. Johnsons government. 
And her responsibilities mean her expertise left her out of her depth.
I applaud her for her support for the family. |
