Opposition MPs and a victims' group founder criticise the health secretary's 'insensitive comments'.
"129,000 Brits have died from Covid under your government's watch," Mr Lammy wrote. "Don't denigrate people for trying to keep themselves and their families safe."
Lib Dem health spokeswoman Munira Wilson said Mr Javid's tweet was "outrageous" while thousands remain in hospital with Covid-19. "His careless words have insulted every man, woman and child who has followed the rules and stayed at home to protect others," she said.Co-founder of Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice Jo Goodman said Mr Javid's comments were "deeply insensitive on a number of levels".
"Words matter and the flippancy and carelessness of this comment has caused deep hurt and further muddied the waters of the government's dangerously mixed messaging."
