Jane Morrison, who lost her wife to coronavirus in 2020, addressed the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry on Friday.
A woman who lost her partner to Covid has hit out at UK Government officials who held illegal lockdown parties, saying there was a “culture of contempt for the ordinary people” throughout the pandemic.
“If the political comprehension of the coming storm is lacking, and it’s partly driven by pandering – this was directed for the UK side to the loudest MPs in government – irrespective of the science, rather than doing what’s in the best interest of the people, then more people die than would otherwise be the case.“As I’ve said before, hubris does not stop a pandemic.
She told the inquiry it was “wrong” for lockdown restrictions to prevent mourners from embracing at funerals. “They felt they’d been treated with absolute contempt and they felt they’d been taken for a ride and treated as mugs. In the afternoon, Cathie Russell, Alison Leitch, Sheila Hall and Natasha Hamilton, of Care Home Relatives Scotland , gave evidence.
“This was reinforced by care home residents never being included in the daily briefings or when there was updates for the general public.
