Re: Risks to children and young people during covid-19 pandemic. Dr Fisayo’s response.

Dear Editor.
Dr Fisayo , 30 April has pointed out something others have missed. Thank you Dr Fisayo.
Using Covid-19 as an excuse, the Govt has sneaked through the use of a Statutory Instrument, legal provisions which have nothing to do with Corvid.
Of course political success depends upon intellectual dishonesty. I also realise that with a majority of 80, the government has little to fear .
But surely, surely, the journalists are still alive and well?

Competing interests: A commoner, wondering how many irrelevant laws are being foisted on us in the name of Covid.
