Most Important Lesson From Covid Inquiry

What is coming out loud and clear from the Covid inquiry is just how awful the Government were during it.
Almost every witness before the Select Committee have said how poor the Government performed or how little concern they had for the public health, despite Boris Johnson's denial's that he said he would prefer the bodies piled high than have a lock-down, it has now been confirmed that he not only said it but suggested he go on TV at the start and actually be injected with Covid to show that it wasn't that dangerous at all.   
As Johnson was a serial liar than nobody believed that he never said it anyway so that isn't much of a surprise but so many Civil Servants and Medical Officers now coming out and describing in detail just how awful they were does make me wonder why the hell didn't anybody say it at the time?
There have been 231,683 Covid deaths in the UK, the 6th highest in the World, and we had the warning and time to prepare as it swept across Asia and Europe before it got to us but we ended up with the second highest death toll in Europe with only Russia above us.
The Inquiry was set out for us to learn from the mistakes so we don't make them again if another pandemic strikes but the most important lesson we can learn is not to elect someone who is so woefully unfit to be our Prime Minister in the first place.
