Boris Johnson agreed with some Conservative MPs who thought Covid was "nature's way of dealing with old people", the Covid inquiry was told.
The allegation comes from diary entries from former chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
Ex-adviser Dominic Cummings told the inquiry the government had no plan and was in "complete chaos".
The inquiry was also shown offensive messages sent by Mr Cummings about cabinet ministers and top officials.
Lee Cain, No 10's former communications director, said the pandemic was the "wrong crisis" for Mr Johnson and he was a "challenging character to work with" because he kept changing his mind.
The government's handling of the Covid crisis was laid bare in a day of candid testimony by the prime minister's former advisers.What a unmitigated twat-waffle that guy is.
