UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
A UK inquiry into Covid response states that the government acted "too little, too late," leading to thousands of additional deaths in the first wave. The report criticizes delayed actions like lockdown and highlights failures in decision-making. It calls out a chaotic culture in Downing Street and underlines the need for improved planning and communication among all four nations in future emergencies.
