I am not sure that the report will change much! The overiding comment around here was that the situation was unprecedented and the government did its best, in the circumstances. I am not in agreement as I believe the government put money before people until the situation was dire. However the report does not reveal that the overall death toll would have been lower. Johnson was undoubtably the wrong person to be in charge, then or at anytime really.
I am surprised that the report did not analyse the geography of the disease. I kept a note of how the disease seemed to spread selectively – araes with low infection rates were soon engulfed. I suspect that the map of infections on a micro level would be more revealing. The £200 million report concentrated on Government decisions – but hardly mentions the geographic dimension and epidemiology should be of prime importance – Dr.John Snow should have set a presedent.
