Britain ’s coronavirus death rate is the worst in Europe, yet the front pages of our rightwing media focus on a scientist’s sex life• Coronavirus latest updates• See all our coronavirus coverageWhen deciding today ’s front pages, newspapers had a choice: do they hold the government to account over Britain facing thehighest death toll in Europe, or do they take aim at a government scientist, who ignored his own advice to the public, and invited a partner to his home?
