He claimed that a series of catastrophic wrong decisions and wrong assumptions occurred within the government in early 2020, saying that Johnson initially regarded the virus as “a frightening story.”

Cummings said: “He described it as the new swine flu” and meditated on injecting the virus on live TV to alleviate people’s fears.

He said that in the early days of the pandemic, the government “did not operate on a war basis.” “A lot of people are skiing.”

“Slumping Shorts”

Cummings said: “The fact is that senior ministers, senior officials, and senior advisers like me are far below the government standards that the public has the right to expect.”

“When the public needed us most, the government failed.”

People are not getting the treatment they deserve. Many people lost their lives in the terrible environment.-Dominic Cummings, assistant to the former prime minister of the United Kingdom

He went on to say: “People are not getting the treatment they deserve. Many people lost their lives in terrible circumstances.”

The UK has recorded nearly 128,000 deaths from the coronavirus, is the country with the highest death toll in Europe, and has experienced one of the worst recessions in the world where three consecutive lockdowns have put the economy in trouble.

The mass vaccination campaign that began in December has greatly reduced the number of infections and deaths, but the government admits that it will have to answer serious questions about its virus handling in future public investigations.

Cummings gave seven hours of testimony to the Council’s Science and Health Committee to understand what might happen. Congressional committee meetings are usually officers, but Cummings’ dramatic testimony was broadcast live on television.

By early 2020, he had published heinous allegations of wrong decisions and wrong assumptions within the government. He said: “The whole thing is like an out of control movie.”

It’s just like independence Day Jeff Goldblum said: “The aliens are here, your whole plan is destroyed,” Cummings said.

Johnson finally implemented a nationwide lockdown on March 23 and received intensive care in the hospital in April 2020 because of the virus.

Prime Minister defends response

Johnson defended the government’s response, saying “all decisions are not easy.”

“It is very difficult to deal with such a large-scale pandemic. At every stage, we try to minimize the loss of life, save lives, and protect lives. [health service] We followed the best scientific advice. “Johnson said in the House of Commons.

Cummings is a self-styled political disruptor who has long expressed contempt for civil servants, many politicians and many media.

He was one of the architects of the campaign that successfully brought Britain out of the European Union, and when Johnson became prime minister in 2019, he was appointed top advisor.

In May 2020, Cummings was pushed from the shadows into the spotlight, when the newspaper revealed that he had 400 kilometers across the country After signing the COVID-19 contract, despite getting a nationwide home order.

His defense (he was seeking childcare help from relatives when he was ill) was hollow to many Britons who sacrificed and endured isolation to follow the rules.

Cummings admitted on Wednesday that he did not tell the whole truth. He said that the real motivation for leaving London was the safety of his family because his London residence was threatened.

Johnson declined the call to fire Cummings. He resigned in November due to power struggles within the prime minister’s office.

In recent days, Cummings used Twitter to criticize his former employer.

He accused the government of sticking to the “herd immunization” policy-allowing the virus to spread throughout the population while protecting the most vulnerable groups-until it is too late to prevent a severe lockdown and many deaths.

He said on Wednesday that it turns out that the government believes-wrongly-that the British public will never accept strict lockdown measures, and that the lockdown will only lead to a steeper death peak.

The government denies that herd immunization has always been its policy.

Lash out at the border policy and test it

Cummings also criticized the government’s failure to close the British border to stop the virus, calling the country’s initial lack of testing capabilities a “disaster” and saying that COVID-19 patients were rushed from hospitals to nursing homes, causing thousands of deaths.

Without citing evidence, he condemned Matt Hancock, the Minister of Health, accused him of lying to the public, and said that he “should be expelled for at least 15 to 20 things.” Hancock will provide his evidence to lawmakers next month. A spokesperson for Hancock’s office said: “We absolutely reject Mr. Cummins’ request to the Secretary of Health.”

Cummings claimed that Johnson refused to follow the advice of the scientific adviser, implemented the second home order in September, and expressed regret that the first lockdown was ordered.

He said Johnson told him: “I should have been the mayor of the’Jew’ town and keep the beach open.”

The second nationwide blockade was announced on October 31, and the third nationwide blockade was announced in January.

“Not suitable” becomes the afternoon

Critics accuse Cummings of covering up the fact that he is one of the most powerful people in the government when making key decisions.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “I will let others determine how reliable the witness is for everything he did.” “He was there at the time-my motive was that I would leave it to others.”

Cummings apologized for not taking more measures to change the government’s strategy, and said that Johnson, who has worked with him for many years, is “not suitable for work” for the prime minister.

Cummings said: “If I acted earlier, many people might still be alive.”

“It’s crazy that I should have held such a high position. People like me should stay there with crackers, just like the crackers with Boris Johnson.”
