More madness - who cares? Inquiries never lead anywhere. Even decisions don't work (look at the Post Office). Most people now agree; Covid was a media inflated minor virus which every government except Sweden fell for - very nasty for the few vulnerable; just like flu for the majority. They should have protected and treated the vulnerable - not over reacted. For me the ultimate example of mass insanity was the stupid Nightingale hospitals and the mad spend on silly masks And the villain was the MEDIA. Not that you'll read that most elsewhere.

Boris Johnson seems to be gloating for the damage he has done. His dad Stanley, has written books and essays on depopulation for decades.

We didn't need a lockdown nor social distancing. I had Covid but it was like having a cold on top of a cold. I was overweight then and a chain smoker. It pisses me off I have lost a small but profitable business and laid off staff. I am happy what I do now, to some extent but the driving is taking its on toll like unloading is. However at least I am self employed still.

Furlough was a posh word dole money. Eat out to help out is practise for Agenda 2030.

Do your own fucking research!

Watching today I think Boris did the best he could and so did many of the others; I don't agree that the UK had any worse a death toll than most other places. It was a nasty virus but not a killer plague. People are always trying to find excuses for the inevitable deaths that happen in life.

It seems to me a pointless Inquiry.

With the power of hindsight could things have been done better? Of course. It was an unprecedented event (the reaction to the virus I mean not the virus itself).

What dismays me is that no one seems to be asking the important questions: how did you balance the likely deaths from lockdowns against possible lives saved by locking down? How did you make your decision? What value should we put on the lives of the old against the young if we have to do so again? How will such decisions be made in the future? What impact did the media have on any such decision making?

And in the wake of young, middle aged and old people dying then and now because of lockdowns, can we please have some kind of acknowledgment and expression of regret? A monument erected to the lockdown dead as well as those who died with Covid, would be a start.
