The public inquiry into the pandemic will start 10 weeks of hearings on Monday looking at the impact on patients, healthcare workers and the wider NHS. Covid patients have been admitted to hospital more than a million times in the UK since the virus emerged in 2020, while countless others have had care for other conditions disrupted. The third stage of the inquiry will also examine the impact on NHS staff, the use of masks and PPE in hospitals, the policy of shielding the most vulnerable and the treatment of long Covid. And for the first time, the stories of more than 30,000 healthcare staff, patients and relatives will form part of the material entered into evidence. BBC News has spoken to some of them.
“It was absolutely horrendous. We were really struggling, having to scrounge around for masks and gloves,“ says Mandi Masters, a community midwife from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. At that early stage the NHS was, she says, “working in the dark” as the virus spread from China to Italy and then to the UK. Mandi later caught Covid herself – she is convinced at work – and ended up in hospital on oxygen for three weeks.

What’s “covid”?
My nephew is sick this week with covid. He called me and asked if he should take the Paxlovid he was given (for $25).
I said absolutely not, unless you want to get sick again next week. Tough it out and come away with some natural immunity.
He is not taking it. As of last night he was still alive. /sarc
THE UK is having a proper wide ranging inquiry into COVID addressing multiple areas in a structured manner
Resilience and preparedness
Core UK decision-making and political governance
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on healthcare systems
Vaccines and therapeutics
Procurement
Care sector
Test, Trace and Isolate
Children and Young People
Economic response
The impact of the pandemic
I wish our politicians were serious enough top do the same.
But government run healthcare is the solution.....
Time for another TikTok dance...,
Wanna bet the conclusion of these investigations will be even more government, higher taxes, and more third world immigration? Maybe throw in “Trump’s fault.” And a “structural racism” for good measure.
Or just bow towards Mecca…
I would write more, but the UK isn’t going to find out anything.
I don’t know how serious and open this inquiry will end up being. We’ll know if they talk about ignoring potentially viable off label treatments like the IVM+Zinc protocols.
It’s what hit me on Friday, and I’m still down from. Bad, bad stuff, whatever anyone wants to call it.
I got asymptomatic Covid in 2020. I’m far more healthy than I was the years before.
My wife almost died of Covid in 2020. She still has lingering health issues.
We are both Purebloods.
God Bless you both
“UK”
It’s GONE.
And the EU isn’t too far behind.
An IQ test most people failed.
I grieve the the country that was before.
My husband and I had it three weeks ago. I was given paxlovid but didn’t take it. The doctor said it would make me feel better fast but it would come back. I said screw that and didn’t take it. I took Ivermectin instead. We are better but I still have a stopped up ear and a blurry eye. It’s getting better though.
I grieve when I realize how doctors became so compromised by government overreach (and punishment if they went against the official line) that you could no longer believe what they were saying.
I talked to my nephew today. He said his fever broke and while he felt poorly of course he is much better.
He is glad he did not take paxlovid.
My husband is 86 with dementia and it was hard on him. I’m glad it was a weaker variant. He wouldn’t have survived the stronger original. I felt better after two days of IVM.
