1/ On 31 March 2020, a thirteen year-old boy called Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab died at King’s College Hospital after contracting coronavirus.

“Sadly he died without any family members”, because they dutifully observed the rules around social distancing. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/31/boy-13-die-london-after-testing-positive-for-coronavirus">https://www.theguardian.com/world/202...

2/ If it wasn& #39;t bad enough that Ismail died without his family around him, they also had to suffer the heartbreak of not attending his funeral, because they followed self-isolation rules after two of Ismail& #39;s siblings displayed coronavirus symptoms. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52150141">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-e...

3/ What& #39;s so damaging about Cummings& #39; utter selfishness, the cover up by No.10, and the hypocrisy of @MattHancock, is not that it shows that Tories believe the rules don& #39;t apply to them, but that it encourages the rest of us to do the same in future. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/matt-hancock-speechless-neil-ferguson-coronavirus-lockdown-a4433501.html">https://www.standard.co.uk/news/poli...

4/ People have experienced lonely deaths, time away from loved ones, & have been unable to offer family members the dignity of a funeral. All to follow rules that the people who lead this country - from the cavalier PM to wormtongue Cummings - were unwilling to follow themselves.
