Across 217 pages, Baroness Hallett criticized the UK's over-confidence, wasted opportunities, and muddled-thinking that left the country ill-prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in significant loss of life and economic damage.
The UK's pandemic plan, formulated after the 2009 swine flu pandemic, focused on mitigating the virus spread, believing the impacts would be mild and relying on vaccines and antiviral drugs, not anticipating the severity of Covid-19.
