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.

      Not only is it evil, it’s also dangerously incompetent. None of the “let the bodies pile high” brigade seem to ever considered what the actual consequences on society would have been if the streets really had started to fill with body bags.

      The panic was bad enough as it was, imagine how things could have spiralled if there was no control over the pandemic at all.

        Last pandemic in Europe where bodies piled on the streets wiped out a third of the population. We would have had Black Plague v2.0

    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.
