Emeritus Prof Christopher MayThis week at the #CovidInquiry
The TUC will argue that the larger context of the #Coronavirus pandemic & the UK's response was shaped by the prior & ongoing period of #austerity!
This will be an interesting test of the breadth of the #CoronavirusInquiry but makes perfect sense;
the preparedness of the #NHS was crucially undermined by the ongoing programme of defunding;
the #NHS crisis was not caused by #covid; the covid crisis was partly caused by austerity!
