I would have expected this to have been investigated very early on so that we had an idea as to how to protect ourselves a little better?
Or were the results so scary that they don't want to tell us?

It's probably just further investigations to what we already think we know. The Deputy Chief Medical Officer has previously said at a briefing that the virus doesn't do well outside and that was the suspicion already apparently. It is presumably a trait of viruses generally.
We've been told that being outside, alone, has very minimal risk. We've also been told that receiving post and parcels is generally fine because the viruses doesn't do well when it's disturbed and subjected to different temperatures.
But even with all that there is every reason to further learn exactly the impact and exactly the reasons why.

It's a real thing though. He has had quite an increase since the start of the year and most countries saw similar trends. Even Macron was popular for a bit and the French really hate their Presidents, even the ones they liked.
