An inquiry before all the facts are even known? What lessons are you going to learn from that? Or is this scope very specifically aimed at certain individuals?

I hear people poo-poo-ing "herd immunity". There is no vaccine and unlikely to be one this year. The virus will soon be endemic globally so it will come back around, again and again. The risk to the under 18s is miniscule, for under 35s is very small, small for under 55s and then moderate above with men massivley more at risk. The current cost of lockdown is £10bn a month - economically unsustainable for much longer. The question is not who is going to catch it because sooner or later we all will; the question is can the system cope with the serious cases when they do get it? At the moment the answer appears to be yes, although it was a close thing in some areas.

Have there been problems with PPE and so forth? Yes. Deliberately? Negligently? Enough to prove beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law against circumstances inherited? Tricky, I would think.
