So much to consider more than scientists views to take into consideration. Psychological and economic issues too. Look beyond personalities and personal likes and dislikes.

Imo personal interest overrode everything.

20/20 hindsight must be terrific

It is worth following Aveline, it’s made me appreciate how worthless the scientists and doctors felt when their evidence was ignored at the time. Politics overrode public interest.

No😮 you clearly have not been listening - otherwise you would never make such an inane remark.

The doctors/scientists/civil servants had laid the facts absolutely bare.

Johnson’s wife was running the show.

No one in the government seems to have had the first clue, and there was total and complete chaos the whole time.

The government rarely took scientific advice and the doctors named Hancock “Dr. Death”

Thousands of lives were lost that could have been saved because of Johnson completely ignoring advice.

It is bewildering how a government can get this so completely wrong - not because they did not have the benefit of 20/20 vision, but because they simply ignored information, and advise from the experts in the field. From the civil servants to the scientists.

And of course “the parties”😡😡

I have been dipping in and out of this enquiry.

Anyone listening to this would never ever for one mili-second consider voting Tory ever again.
