Coronavirus: Boris Johnson keeps calm but Whitehall plans for worst

You know, given the thinly-veiled Social Darwinism that lies at the heart of the Tory ideology, I’m a bit surprised they haven’t gone with a presser like this:

“We’ve decided that, in regards to COVID-19, we’re just gonna let ‘er rip. I mean, let’s be blunt here; who’s most likely to be affected? The old and the weak, and they’re not exactly the most ‘economically viable’ groups, now are they? We’ve decided that we’ll let nature take its course. And instead of thinking of this as a tragedy, let us think of it as, well, a ‘great cleansing’ of our great nation. Thank you, and God Bless.”
