An examination of the #Cummings transcript in thread below & some questions that could have been asked- on 26 March @BorisJohnson is tested +ve for #COVID19 raising a possibility that he #Cummings has it, he races home to wife on learning she is ill - thread 1/23
2/22 Despite possibility of his wife Mary having #COVID19 why does Cummings ignore guidance & not self-isolate but return to work? - How many did he infect or put in danger? Were those individuals traced & tested?
3/23 Mary may have had #COVID19 which meant he might also, or he passed it to her- guidance says #StayAtHome if you have #COVID19 symptoms- “extraordinary circumstance” was being a parent who feared he may contract virus but why was that different to any other parent?
4/23 - Why did you return to work if your wife has symptoms even if you did not have symptoms of #COVID19 you could have been asymptomatic but then failed to self-isolate for 14 days as per Govt.guidance?
5/23- Why is there nothing in your blog about arguing for a lockdown? Why were references to #coronavirus in the article written in 2019 only included sometime between April & May this year? dominiccummings.com/2019/03/04/the… Threats is there any proof of this @metpoliceuk
6/23 Why even think of working “into the night” @10DowningStreet if wife had symptoms of #COVID19 why not self-isolate? The regulations talks of a reasonable excuse to leave home-What enquiries were made of London family/friends as to whether they could assist with childcare?
7/23 Since when is it ok to expose 17-year-old or 20 year old nieces to the risk of a deadly infection? Which Government guidance said that age group was safe from contracting #COVID19? - Where did you receive such advice from to reaching such a dangerous & risky conclusion?
8/23 -Why once more would you have considered risking a return to your place of work simply to get a test whilst risking the safety of others & not self-isolating as per Govt. guidance ?
9/23 Did @BorisJohnson have use of a mobile whilst facing death in an ICU from #COVID19? There is nothing in the law that allows you if you are infected to drive 260 miles even if you have a child, so what was your “reasonable excuse” that would mean you did not break the law?
10/23 When you travelled a 5 hour, 260 mile journey to Durham did you never stop once for a toilet break for your 4year old or need to refuel at a service station? Did you come into contact with anyone?
11/23 Slotting in your wife’s @spectator piece on 25April your story not add up? Mary says you never got out of bed for 10 days taking it to 6 April, you lay in bed with ‘high fever, spasms & limited breathing’ but you drove to pick up your wife from hospital 2nd April- how?
12/23 If you could barely stand up,had muscle spasms with limited breathing would you not be too impaired to drive & pick up your wife & child? thus risking them & members of the public? You must have discussed the @spectator piece of 25 April & Daily Mail with your wife?
13/23 So you can’t even walk the night your son goes to the hospital & you said you “start to recover in the second week, I tried to walk outside” but you were driving a car to the hospital on morning of April 2nd?
14/23 On Saturday 11th April you claim you were still ‘weak & exhausted’ but never left your father’s farm- but why do you keep saying you had not displayed any symptoms of #COVID19?
15/23 Who gave you expert medical advice and said it was safe to return? What information did you give, did you advise them of the 5hr drive required or that your eyesight was impaired?
16/23 Why would you drive to #BarnardCastle to test your eyesight? The average journey time is 42 mins & over 26 miles through various A & B roads, why risk the public, your family?- why could your wife not drive, she confirmed she could in a previous article in @spectator ?
17/23 Why go to the beauty spot on the day of your wife’s birthday? Why test whether your eyesight is impaired by driving a vehicle and going on a 90 minute round trip through rural villages to #BarnardCastle - 3 A roads, 3 B roads & 19 roundabouts? How many lives did you risk?
18/23 Did you not refuel or toilet stop for your 4 year old on the 5 hour journey back to London, after all your child needed a toilet break on a ‘short’ journey to #BarnardCastle - if you did not stop on the way to Durham for fuel, surely you needed to refuel on the way back?
19/23 You state that your mother’s brother died during this 2 week period of #COVID19 but did not attend the funeral, but on what date exactly did he die? Is this the reason you decide to go home & comfort your mother?
20/23 If you were involved on decisions effecting millions, did you not once stop to think that you were endangering the lives of not just your family as well as members of the public with your ‘reckless’ actions for which there was no reasonable excuse within the regulations?
21/23 How is it reasonable to drive a short journey of 90 minutes round trip some 60 miles to see if you were in a fit state to do so? - why could your wife not drive? Did her birthday have anything to do with the outing, why not leave for London that day?
22/23 Is it not the case you only made your movements public once it was claimed you had broken guidance & regulations? That the piece in the Spectator & Daily Mail was not true, that you were not in London as claimed by @10DowningStreet ?
23/23 Your position is simply untenable as your actions are now being used as an excuse by members of the public to breach guidance & the law? Is it one law for you & one law for the public? How arrogant are you that you have not even considered resignation?
