Matt Hancock

[life on mars]

i notice this covid enquiry has cost over 114 million quid already and to go on potentially for another 5 years

a waste of tax payers money ?

Especially as its lost its focus which should be about what we learned and how best to prepare for next one.

It appears to be just a blame enquiry.

Here you go. The Terms of Reference as agreed in July 2022 with the then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

I did think Hancock faced down the QC very well, although he is not a likable fella, you could see he is bright albeit in an acedemic way.

Not really bothered about the terms I am more concerned we may not have learned enough if we just bicker, it's interesting though the sciencetists advising government are getting off lightly and we are supposedly lead by them??

I don't think anyone had a clue on either side of the politic spectrum, Sage or sciencetists. Starmer, Drakeford, That pathetic self serving Scottish Women.

Covid was brighter than all of them.

The only bright note was Gove telling the truth, however uncomfortable that was, yes it was a man made mistake... And built in a lab.. In China with Western backing..

Who is she ?

She simply has a Theory.

" Theoretical epidemiologist professor Sunetra Gupta talks to Tom Ireland about alternative models of how and when COVID-19 could have spread through the UK
Sunetra Gupta is professor of theoretical epidemiology at Oxford University’s Department of Zoology. Born in Calcutta, she spent her early childhood moving between Ethiopia, Zambia and England. She is also an acclaimed writer, with her fourth novel A Sin of Colour shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2000.

After originally studying physics, Gupta became interested in the use of maths in biology, and the evolution of human pathogens – particularly the question of why some, like flu, become extremely diverse. She was mentored by the great mathematician, theoretical ecologist and scientific adviser Lord Robert May, who sadly died this year aged 84, and she later moved into the world of theoretical epidemiology.

In March, when epidemiologists from Imperial College London presented projections that up to 250,000 people in the UK could die, it prompted the Government to take urgent and drastic action. Meanwhile a study by Gupta’s group at Oxford suggested a range of different scenarios were possible – including the possibility that the virus had arrived in the UK far earlier than reported, and over half of the UK population had already had it.

Gupta argues that without reliable prevalence data, the true picture of how widespread COVID-19 has been across the UK is still unclear. She has also warned that nation-wide lockdowns are having an unacceptable toll on poor people, and favours strict shielding for the sections of the population most susceptible to severe illness instead."

The biggest threat to people were people who simply wouldn't adhere to the rules. We all knew what to do and we could see the deaths rise and still folk bent the rules for selfish reasons like drinking, meeting, that was all way before we knew what was going on a Cakegate.

Folk killed folk and it was all started by a badly made, man made virus..in a dodgy Chinese town with dodgy funding.

Where's Drakefords independent enquiry but he fecked stuff up along with his useless health minister. His greatest moment was banning the sale of non essential goods whilst enabling greater spending via Amazon instead.

Crikey, the world's most truthful man, Michael Gove chucked in this speculation which you somehow translate into an absolute truth!

And indeed, though I think this probably goes beyond the remit of the inquiry, there is a significant body of judgment that believes that the virus itself was man made — and that presents its own set of challenges as well.”

I think you’re forgetting that a significant proportion of people who caught coronavirus was actually in hospital, which would have the strictest rules in place.
