Did Covid expose a 'failure of imagination'?

This week on the podcast, scientists appear before the Covid Inquiry. They discuss whether the lockdown was implemented quickly enough and if scientists failed to imagine it as a policy. The chapter also focuses on the tensions between the Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Scientific Advisor and criticizes the committees for focusing on trivial matters. There is a debate on the relationship between scientists and politicians during Covid and the anticipation for the upcoming inquiry.
