....I know lets have an inquiry! Unbelievable, what will an enquiry tell us? people died from a virus! Why is there a call for a public enquiry every time anything happens? madness!

If you can show that the lockdown had an effect, then you can show what that effect would have been on the figures if it had started a week earlier. I wouldn't say we can "know" for certain what the effect would have been, but it stands to reason that if such drastic intervention was introduced earlier then you would have seen the impact earlier too.

and I think we can show - there was little effect and the disease just sort of went away
imagine an infecter - infecting three - how many people have to be infected or are post infected to reduce that to two ?
a third ( then three goes down to two)
so .... a third should have antibodies
and we know how many people are showing antibodies - as many as 0,2%
roughly one hundredth of the level you need
nowhere near
with uncertainty at that level - there is no point in employing lawyer to pone and depone - resile and allege
make the points again
at £300 per lawyer per hour

I don't see it that way at all. In order for there to be no need for a public enquiry you would have to accept that all of the following were true:
1. There was literally not a single thing that could have been improved on, given what we know now;
2. There was literally not a single decision that at the time could have been improved upon;
3. The decision-making process functioned as a perfect fusion of science and politics;
4. The decision-making process and its outcome were perfectly transparent;
5. The implementation of these decisions was flawless.
The fact that the Tories were in power is, to my mind at least, more or less irrelevant. They drew the short straw (or we handed it to them). Moreover, the fact that some of this is hindsight speaking and some is what could, or should, have been seen at the time, is what a public enquiry would be able to sort out. There is no sense in universally defending the decisions of the last few months.
There will be another pandemic in the future. Several more, in fact. We can't walk into those future threats without at least trying to learn something from this one.

I used to find the same sort of thing at work. People under stress and in grief mistake doing something for doing something that will change things. The two best exampes that I can think of are these.
I am a retired occupational therapist and used to work with older people who had illnesses or accidents getting them back to live in their own homes wherever possible. On arrival with us they were usually at least pretty tired, often with illnesses/issues that needed to be sorted before they were ready to begin working at self care, walking and so on. Relatives would grab me and ask "have you assessed him/her?" and I would explain that I had gone to say hello and chat but it was too early to start assessing and planning for the future. The relis invarably would ask "how will she get better if you don't assess her" as though the assessment itself was some kind of treatment. It used to happen with major adaptations too. People would get quite upset over the fact that putting in wet rooms, hoists and so on didn't actually make the person better. In the front of their heads they knew it wouldn't work but their feelings wouldn't listen to their heads. I think this poor chap is in the same boat. "Somebody has to DO something"
