BoJo has said a couple of times that he wants businesses to stand by their employees because the government will “stand by businesses”....
He also said that they aim to look after the people most effected by the financial issues of this better than the people were looked after post 2008 financial crash.
Otherwise, he said a lot without saying much. Lots of bluster about testing, even suggesting they could test up to 250000 per day.

No, I am not a statistician. I am quite happy for people to use emotive language.
The daily briefing was a perfect time to use emotive language to try and stop hoarding behaviour. Maybe even shame people into stopping it.
