The Covid Inquiry so far: 7 key moments with Prof. Christina Pagel and Alex Andreou

The Covid-19 inquiry is nowhere near halfway through, but already we’ve learned a lot. But there’s been so much to learn about how our government worked (or didn’t) during the pandemic that it’s been a little hard to comprehend. So before we hear the likes of Patrick Valance give evidence Alex Andreou sat down in the Bunker with Prof. Christina Pagel, Professor of Operational Research at UCL, to explain 7 key moments that we’ve seen so far and why they’re so important to notice. “How can we change the way that we do politics so we have serious people in charge?…I feel like we’ve not had that in years?” – Prof. Christina Pagel. “We’re really good at collecting stuff – we’re really bad at acting on it.” – Prof. Christina Pagel. “I find it incredible there were no safety precautions in number 10, and I find it incredible how little attention it’s had.” – Alex Andreou. “If you talk to people on that frontline they were absolutely overwhelmed… and they’re still recovering.” – Prof. Christina Pagel.
