"As the Neil Ferguson scandal dominates headlines across the UK media, many online are questioning the rather conspicuous timing of the revelations, which coincide with grim and embarrassing news for the government.

The one-time UK coronavirus tsar Ferguson resigned in disgrace from his position as advisor and strategist to 10 Downing Street on Tuesday night amid revelations of a tryst with a married woman, 38-year-old Antonia Starts, which contravened his own proposed lockdown and social distancing measures.

The first reported instance of their now widely-covered lockdown love affair took place on March 30, followed by another romantic get-together on April 8. So why did it take so long for these egregious violations to come to light, given the public health risk posed by such reckless abandon? This is a question which is being repeatedly asked among the more skeptical minded on social media."
