Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was quoted as saying the government should "just let people die" during the Covid-19 pandemic rather than impose a second national lockdown, the inquiry into how Britain handled the crisis heard on Monday.

Patrick Vallance, who was the government’s chief scientific adviser during COVID, made a note in his diary on October 25, 2020, about a meeting involving then Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Sunak, who was finance minister.

The diary entry shown to the inquiry recorded how Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s most senior adviser during the pandemic, had relayed to Vallance what he said he had heard at the meeting.

    I always trust whatever the government tells me. I think we should be locked down forever and live in cubicles. The only way to be completely safe.

      You say … in support of a government official?

      It’s just easier to say you’re ok with people needlessly dying. Fewer words, you don’t have to confuse people with sentences that don’t make sense. Win win.
