Boris Johnson resisted autumn lockdown as only over-80s dying – Dominic Cummings

BBC News says Boris Johnson was reluctant to tighten Covid restrictions as cases rose last autumn because he thought people dying from it were “essentially all over 80”, Dominic Cummings has claimed.

He also said the prime minister had messaged him to say: “I no longer buy all this NHS overwhelmed stuff.”

Mr Johnson had wanted to let Covid “wash through the country” rather than destroy the economy, Mr Cummings said.
