I'm certain sure that you're being ironic in making a "sweeping statement" such as that, Dave the Gnome. Amidst all the flotsam, jetsam and swimming rodents surrounding the wreck of the Ship of State, one question occurs to me which I haven't yet heard asked about the various get-togethers in Downing Street; why is it that those who were best informed about the Coronavirus were clearly unconcerned about any consequences of such gatherings, at least with regard to health? Or were they all wearing PPE?
