Government could have been ‘more liberal’ on outdoor time during Covid – Whitty
There should have been a “more liberal” approach to the amount of time people were allowed to spend outside during the Covid-19 pandemic, the nation’s top medic has said.
Just weeks into lockdown, senior scientists advising government discussed evidence that being outdoors was safer than being indoors, the pandemic probe heard.
Speaking about the amount of time people could spend outdoors, England’s chief medical officer Professor Sir Chris Whitty told the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry: “I couldn’t see the logic of that from an infection control point of view.”
There are other words we could use about the whole sorry charade, but now we have other totalitarian trends to worry about. "Sir" Chris can't help us with those either, although he has reminded us that "Sir" Keir preferred more stringent restrictions apart from visits to voice coaches.
Must be something about knighthoods.

Staggering that this expensive pointless talking shop is still going on - especially as we all knew right at the start what its conclusions are going to be (should have locked down harder, sooner, etc etc). What an utter waste of time and our money.
Peter - yes, it seems to be a common government problem too, not calling a halt to useless procedures which just go on and on under a kind of bureaucratic momentum.
