Hold a Public Inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 crisis

What the petition asks
Open a Public Inquiry into the decisions made, the ratification and justification of the decisions made, demonstrating where a mandate from the people was used around the decision making and actions taken
It is a widely held belief that had more prudent and timely decisions been made in the interest of public health the loss of life as a result of Coronavirus could have been much less. We need to learn the lessons of this pandemic to hold to account those who bungled decisions and went against the advice of medical experts to put in place controls and protocols that prevent such poor decision manning and misuse of public funds ever again
