TRANSFORMING SOCIETY: Did we really think we’d moved on from Covid?

Description

For a while, it seemed people weren’t talking about the pandemic much, trying to pretend nothing happened. But it is a memory and a trauma that is easily revived, as we have seen with the publication of the Common’s Privileges Committee Report and the release of WhatsApp messages between Matt Hancock and other government ministers.

This will no doubt continue to be relived as the Covid Inquiry proceeds. Whether we like it or not, traumatic events, though often not spoken about, still have a deep impact and can drive political change.
