the advice was wrong and massively hindered by lack of public health expertise on SAGE, Govt had British exceptionalism in not learning from other countries, and a weird fatalism that we couldn't possibly develop a testing and tracing system in time 2/4

Can you provide any evidence that the SAGE advice was wrong? Graham Medley explained it very well in the inquiry I thought.

Post May 2020, the failure shifted to govt ignoring SAGE advice and refusing to learn from emerging research and experience from other countries, and refusing to learn the lesson of acting early and importance of clear communication, trust & support (SpiB emphasised often!) 3/4
