Lockdown a Week Before Would Have Saved Twenty-Three Thousand Lives, Coronavirus Investigation Finds
A critical government inquiry concerning the UK's management to the pandemic situation has concluded which the actions were "insufficient and delayed," noting how enacting a lockdown even seven days sooner could have prevented more than 23,000 deaths.
Key Findings from the Inquiry
Documented across over seven hundred and fifty sections across two parts, the conclusions paint a consistent picture of procrastination, inaction as well as an evident inability to learn lessons.
The account concerning the onset of Covid-19 at the beginning of 2020 is especially critical, describing February as "a wasted month."
Government Failures Emphasized
- It questions why Boris Johnson failed to lead a single gathering of the emergency emergency committee during February.
- Measures to Covid essentially stopped during the half-term holiday week.
- By the second week of that March, the circumstances was described as "little short of disastrous," with inadequate plan, a lack of testing and thus no clear picture regarding the extent to which Covid was spreading.
What Could Have Been
While admitting the fact that the move to enforce confinement had been unprecedented as well as exceptionally hard, taking other action to curb the circulation of the virus earlier might have resulted in a lockdown may not have been necessary, or been of shorter duration.
Once restrictions was inevitable, the inquiry authors noted, if it had been introduced on 16 March, estimates suggested this could have reduced the count of lives lost within England in the first wave of the pandemic by nearly 50%, equating to over 20,000 lives saved.
The inability to understand the scale of the threat, and the need for measures it demanded, led to that by the time the chance of a mandatory lockdown was initially contemplated it proved too late and such measures had become inevitable.
Ongoing Failures
The inquiry further noted that many similar mistakes – reacting belatedly and minimizing the pace together with effect of the pandemic's progression – were then repeated in the latter part of 2020, when restrictions were lifted only to be late reintroduced due to contagious mutations.
It labels this "inexcusable," stating how those in charge did not to improve over repeated outbreaks.
Final Count
The UK experienced among the most severe Covid outbreaks within Europe, amounting to around two hundred forty thousand Covid-related fatalities.
This report is the latest from the national inquiry covering each part of the handling and response of the pandemic, that started in previous years and is due to run into 2027.
