It is becoming ever clearer both how devastating the second wave of winter 2020/21 was, and how much of that devastation could have been avoided.

The likes of Matt Hancock continue to claim the NHS wasn't overwhelmed during the pandemic. Experts like Dr Kevin Fong exposed that myth during the inquiry hearings. On Thursday, the inquiry must be clear: years of austerity left the NHS overwhelmed and unprepared.

Read the full thread below. My father should have received medical attention far earlier, and suffered in fear at home for 10 days before being taken to hospital by paramedics. We'll never know if earlier intervention could have saved him, but he needed oxygen and proper medical care.
