LEGAL?
Facta
1. UK Coronavirus Act 2020, Section 1:
(1)In this Act—
“coronavirus” means severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2);
“coronavirus disease” means COVID-19 (the official designation of the disease which can be caused by coronavirus). [1]
2.. Freedom of Information Requests FOI-1244462 and FOI-1244664 asked the Department of Health and Social Care to provide "a copy of all records ... describing the isolation of a SARS-Cov-2 / COV-2 virus". In its response the DHSC provided no copies of or references to such documents and explicitly stated "DHSC does not hold such information". [2]
Sententia
What exactly is the legal force of a statute enacted by the legislative branch of a government, whose provisions are based solely on an alleged threat from a certain natural phenomenon, while a representative of the executive branch of the same government officially admits that the government in question has no evidence of the existence in nature of such phenomenon?
