Been thinking a lot about this evidence overnight. It lays some uncomfortable and bruising ground for Whitty and Vallance… bbc.com/news/uk-politi…
As I discuss in #WhenTheDustSettles good scientific advice in emergencies also needs to listen to Wild Cards and weigh up longer term recovery consequences of certain actions. By 2016/7 I was worried that we were going backwards.
Lots of focus on Chemical and Nuclear threats in mid 2000s and they tell us a lot about the harms that responders can do to a society with poorly misunderstood quick fixes. The advice by 2020 seemed to exclude so many voices.
By 2020 - Massive over reliance on a form of behavioural science with a skew towards white, privileged experiences - but it would appear that Whitty and Vallance considered those insights enough to tick the “we have considered people in all this” box
HOW people experience disaster, in so many ways and so many different levels of resources and vulnerabilities, was glanced at but not nearly in enough detail. HOW voices of those advocating for inequality in disaster response were heard was piecemeal.
And as I say in The Recovery Myth… this is what happens to narratives and knowledges in disaster response and recovery:

There can be a lot of snobbery in Disaster Victim Identification with incorrect assumptions abounding that India will struggle this scale of tragedy - but U.K., Europe and USA would be ready. Trust me - this would challenge the U.K. just as much…. news.sky.com/story/india-tr…
Wherever the incident is in the world, affected relatives respond in the same way. Desperate for information and then desperate for access to their loved ones’s body or to visit a survivor in the hospital. The response can never be quick enough and if authorities try to use….
..the Interpol standards and science such as DNA they will take too long in the eyes of both the relatives and the communities and often the uniformed politicians and media.

“We hid messages from the COVID inquiry… brushed over several hundred excess deaths due to NHS Backlog…approved some extra cremation of those already dead…harassed some sick people on benefits… abandoned Sudan… negotiated our Murder-Barge contract. Good Times”
Also should it be NHS-Backlog… I noticed we are now hyphenating waiting-times
See you next month!

All recent public inquiries have relied heavily on analysts to create timelines that flag key moments and decisions. Jan - April 2020 will be chock-full of such flags in Hallet’s inquiry and often they will contradict or overlap. Tens of agencies will have their own line…
…usually marked by a different colour. However one of many challenges for the inquiry is to work out what lies behind the flags and how they should be interpreted and exactly who has the inside track.
I have found interviews with Cleo Watson to promote “Whips” very revealing here (excuse the pun). Interestingly the detail in You Magazine about the pressures on Number 10 in mid- March don’t make it to the online edition but they tell me a lot about what messages might contain Image

This is ABSOLUTELY the playbook of post disaster inquiries - new phone, new laptop, new pigeons

Tom on #BritainsGotTalent is already a performer nurtured by Simon and with a record deal. I know that it’s all a bit of a confection but sometimes it would be nice to believe in the genuine discovery of the amateur for a little longer
And yes I have a bias here:
This has echoes of when they shoe horned the Greatest Showman singer lady in

I really like this article by @whippletom but it struggles, like so many pieces (and the inquiry to come) with the fact that there were plans and planners and planning- which means that everything that was done was a choice
Choices - cut budgets for U.K. pandemic planning: sell off PPE stockpile; decline appts for major exercises; fail to implement suggested changes to how we communicate science in emergencies; close pandemic death mgt stream at Home Office…
…fail to implement lessons from Cygnus; fail to evaluate how ethical frameworks would be used; increase use of behavioural insight across emergency response; sell pandemic training to a private provider…
