“We have learned a lot over the last six months about coronavirus, including how to treat it. “But for everything we have learned, it is still a new disease, which is very infectious and has few effective treatments,” he said.

Although residents in South Wales aren’t impressed with his latest statement.

Craig Parry remarked after the statement: ” Full of the joys is dreary Drakeford. Smiling now and again might help instead of the constant doom and gloom poker face. Figures are down to such a level that this shouldn’t be called a pandemic any longer – not that any minister or politician would care to mention this.”

Whilst Christopher Enright said how sick of it all he is: ” This man is totally useless and I’m sick and tired of negative leadership in the whole of the UK.”

Meanwhile, Martin Jones hit out at Labour supporters in Wales: “What beats me is he is worse than useless but people will still vote for him labour have kept Wales down for years.”

Drakeford has never been a popular leader in Wales and now has come under further fire with his latest views and actions.
