I am surprised there isn’t more focus on Cummings driving the virus from London (20,000 cases) to Durham (100 cases), and then his family exposing hospital workers to it.

Did he break the *spirit* or the *letter* of lockdown? It doesn’t matter. He broke the *entire point* of it.

By this point, and even now still, PPE was being sent to the point of most need - ie London, where Cummings left, in favour of the NHS services of Durham.

People have died in hospitals, so have doctors, because of this kind of behaviour. But Cummings carries on.

. @michaelgove on the radio claiming Cummings acted “to minimise the risk” of his family infecting other people.

He went home to see his wife who was ill, then *went back* to 10 Downing Street.

Then took the virus up to meet north east NHS staff.

The Barnard Castle excursion might seem to be where the rules were broken but, in fairness, the whole family were highly likely to have been immune from catching or spreading the virus. They weren’t risking the lives of others, but they did before. That’s beyond doubt.
