A new poll accuses Britain's prime minister of underestimating the Corona pandemic at first


Opinium conducted a new opinion poll, which revealed that 60% of Britons believed that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson underestimated the Coronavirus pandemic in the beginning, and believed in the validity of the claim that at the beginning of the epidemic, Boris Johnson considered the coronavirus to be " Just a scary story. "


Dominic Cummings, a former aide to Boris Johnson, launched a sharp attack on Boris Johnson and Health Minister Matt Hancock, in a seven-hour statement before parliament's health and science committees, according to the Russian agency Sputnik.


He held them responsible for tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths related to the Corona virus, saying: "Boris Johnson is inappropriate to be prime minister, and that at the beginning of the virus outbreak, he played down the threat by describing it as a" scary story "and repeatedly ignoring advice to close the country.


 Despite this, according to Opinium results, 71% of respondents do not trust Cummings, followed by Hancock (58%) and the Prime Minister (57%), but the public believes that most of Cummings' claims may be true.


The survey revealed that 66% of those who responded to the survey believe that the Cabinet was already following the "herd immunity" strategy at the beginning of the epidemic, and 60% trust the claim that Johnson believed that the Corona virus was just a scary story and described it as "the new swine flu."


On the other hand, the British newspaper The Independent said that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson no longer enjoys the approval of the public, and the progress of his Conservative party retreated by seven points, following the testimony given by his former advisor Dominic Cummings last week regarding Johnson's management of the Corona pandemic crisis, according to a survey revealed new.
