Cummings today: “Last year I wrote about the possible threat of coronaviruses and the urgent need for planning”.. appears to be reference to this blog... actually about biolab accidents and giving a “Red Team” £1m to test security including honey traps ..https://dominiccummings.com/2019/03/04/the-most-secure-bio-labs-routinely-make-errors-that-could-cause-a-global-pandemic-are-about-to-re-start-experiments-on-pathogens-engineered-to-make-them-mammalian-airborne-transmissible/ …

But he said yesterday: "only last year I wrote specifically about the danger of coronaviruses". He didn't. He was lying, and trying to make people think his "superforecaster" skills had predicted what has happened this year.pic.twitter.com/XTZzE1U3IW

Is this true

I’m just imagining how much time they’re spending on all this arse covering and time he spends on building his brand image? Time they should be spending helping this country. Astonished we’re paying for all this.

After 5 days Cummings, Boris et al cant even conjure up a story that cant be pulled apart in hours... what chance to we have to get through a pandemic with this level of incompetence. They attack the media- but its not media its them who think we should swallow whatever they say

More than five days. The police spoke to hus family at the end of March. They have had two months to concoct and corroborate this story and it’s all bullshit.
