Publisher's Synopsis
An objective, impartial description and explanation of principally the societal actions and decisions which were taken before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in England. The theme is to identify the reasons why the government achieved, or did not achieve, its main societal aims and objectives and the ensuing effects on individuals and society. The book raises key questions about the management of the pandemic. Unless these questions are fully and frankly answered, the many valuable lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic will not be learned.
