If instead it's pointed out where errors were made hopefully the same ones aren't made again. Scientists have to learn how to talk to politicians and work with them both with the science and the politics. It needs to be a cooperation that continues, not a battle to get heard then passing blame.


The medical folk can make all the points they want but the politicians need to look at more including economy and how the great public will react. The latter have a great deal to be blamed for - mass exodus from cities to rural second homes likely taking the infection with them.


The inquiry needs to happen but not like a forum of name calling, self defence and who shouts loudest.

Is it not the case that mistakes have already been repeated in the past 14 months (ish) ?
