If Covid had been a risk to the prime minister and his Downing Street team, they would have followed the rules more carefully

With all the unbridled information to which they have access, the prime minister, Boris Johnson, and his team knew the extent to which the Covid virus was/is a risk to healthy people.

If it was a danger to them, they would have been more assiduous than anyone else in following the government guidelines.
