Details: Boris Johnson asked a very strange question about Covid-19
The UK is currently examining its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
An official inquiry has already found the nation to blame for a “massive failure” in how to fight the spread of the infection.
The country’s former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come under a lot of criticism.
Among others, many of the allegations come from Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s former chief adviser who was fired in 2020.
This was reported by Politico.
He asked a strange question
Dominic Cummings has gathered criticism that his inclusion in the official inquiry team is uncharitable.
It has 115 pages in total.
In her report, the former aide describes, among other things, a striking question the prime minister posed to Britain’s most prominent virus researcher.
According to Cummings, Boris Johnson is said to have specifically wondered if you could get rid of the virus by blowing a hair dryer straight up your nose.
– A video has gone viral of a boy blowing a special hair dryer on his nose to kill Covid, Dominic Cummings asserted in his letter.
He says Johnson sent the video to Britain’s top advisers and officials via WhatsApp.
The video posted a while back has been removed from YouTube.
Reviewing private messages
The trial will continue until summer 2016.
As part of the basis, there are several excerpts from WhatsApp, which was often used by British government representatives.
For example, private messages from March 2020 indicated that Johnson did not think Covid-19 was a “big deal” and that he believed the biggest risk was that the economy would end up in recession.
– He (Johnson, editor’s note) doesn’t think it’s a big deal, he thinks nothing can be done, he thinks his attention will be on something else, like swine flu.
That’s according to a message sent from Britain’s former press secretary, Lee Caine, the Financial Times reported.
More than 230,000 deaths
Since spring 2020, more than 230,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the UK, according to UK government figures.
Nearly 25 million cases have been confirmed.
According to several statistical services, it is the second worst affected country in Europe after Russia.
