Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

The general thrust of Cummings' testimony seems to be:

- Democracy doesn't work.
- I'm smarter than you.
- Everything would be better if people would just do what I say.

I'm particularly struck by how baldly he is willing to claim that Johnson is a narcissistic moron who lies repeatedly and is unfit for office.

That was all pretty obvious back when Johnson was a plagiarising journalist, a philandering husband, a sacked MP, and an ineffectual Mayor. Yet Cummings didn't see any problem in getting him elected and re-elected as Prime Minister because -- at the time -- it served his Brexit agenda.

Lions led by donkeys, perhaps, but Cummings was the f***ing shepherd.
