LONDON -- The U.K. government was ill-prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic and serious errors in planning failed its citizens, an inquiry found Thursday.
Retired judge Heather Hallett, who is leading the ongoing inquiry, said the government wrongly believed in 2019 that it was one of the best-prepared countries in the world for an outbreak and it anticipated the wrong pandemic — influenza.
“This belief was dangerously mistaken," Hallett said in releasing her first report. “In reality, the U.K. was ill-prepared for dealing with the whole-system civil emergency of a pandemic, let alone the coronavirus pandemic that actually struck.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has been blamed for more than 235,000 deaths in the U.K. through the end of 2023 — one of the highest death tolls in the world.

It was better to do nothing at all and treat the ill. *Maybe* keep the highest risk people at home during outbreaks.
Over 235,000 deaths in the U.K. from what the vaccine ?
The UK is a failed state as it Germany and France.
Under Biden, we are not far behind them.
The “authorities” turned a flu into an international exercise in control.
Calling it a pandemic and then listening to idiots that had no clue what they were doing as they piled on more and more
So when we get back to being the Constitutional Republic that our Constitution creates, we need to stop trying to spread democracy at gunpoint, and engage in some tough love with our allies reminding them that they are subscribed to such principles as free speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly for law abiding citizens.
ABC News still refuses to blame China for the lab leak that caused the whole thing.

They weren’t ill prepared
They wanted to try that one world government stuff on for size
Boris Johnson and his entire government should be hanging from lampposts by their broken necks.
Yeah. It was influenza season. Every medical outfit is prepared for that. What caught them off guard was that the WuhanFlu was magically renamed to Covid and believed that it makes it special.
It was the flu.
Didn’t the EU allow Chinese to fly between China and the EU when it started ?
Did you see any such announcements? Did you see anyone "official" even hint to not be fat and not have fat people diseases that put them more at risk of dying from COVID?
I didn't. All I saw was EVERYONE shelter, EVERYONE mask, EVERYONE take the vax. ALL CHILDREN barred from school.
I doubt Boris Johnson actually wanted to do this, he has an instinctive leaning towards libertarianism. He is however, completely spineless and weak and pushed around by senior civil servants and advisors serving the deep state, some of whom have sinceleft the Civil Service to become Labour politicians.
He cucked to his lunatic wife on the environment, refused to sink the boats and locked down Britain multiple times. How he hasn’t been strung up is beyond comprehension.
As I say, spineless, not malicious in his own right.
I’m just the opposite. Malicious to the extreme.
The lesson they’re determined to ignore: lockdown was a disaster, writes infectious diseases expert Kevin Bardosh
At 240 pages thick, the first official report from the near two-year-long Covid Inquiry is certainly weighty, but at its core are just two central messages.
They are that the Government prepared for the wrong pandemic and that the plans Britain put in place in case of a widespread influenza outbreak were inadequate and largely irrelevant in the face of the coronavirus.
Johnson and his government knew they were wrong. Boris is evil to his core.
