"We have only to think of Grenfell, Ladbroke Grove and Mid-Staffs. For the covid-19 inquiry, perhaps its biggest challenge will be to hear the voice of all those who have suffered in this crisis" - So I make that around 66m..

I think the public at large have already made their minds up with regard to what went wrong, but focus should be on the 'modelling assumptions' used and whether there was arrogance at the highest level that the assurances given by the 'experts' were correct and were not subject to rigour and challenge.

Not closing the borders, even now, seems to be a nonsensical position to take, and it would be interesting to see why this was not implemented.

Lastly all the Cabinet papers, NHS E and Department of Health meeting records need to be available with no redactions so that the public can be reassured that decisions were not made for political/economic reasons e.g., herd immunity but with the intention of saving lives.
