Module 2 of the UK COVID-19 inquiry: Insights and Drama

Module 2 of the UK COVID-19 inquiry is focused on the conduct of the government during the pandemic. The inquiry has unveiled a glimpse into the minds of key figures, including Sir Patrick Vallance, the government's former chief scientific adviser. His diary revealed his frustration with inconsistent decision-making and a sense of the government's lack of credibility. The inquiry also shed light on the feud within Downing Street, particularly between Dominic Cummings and Carrie Symonds. WhatsApp messages exposed tensions and derogatory remarks regarding each other's influence on the Prime Minister. The inquiry has further highlighted divisions in scientific advice, with clashes between proponents of lockdown measures and lockdown skeptics. The inquiry is still ongoing, but it has already provided drama and insight into the decision-making and dynamics within the government.
