Letters: Will the Covid Inquiry achieve anything apart from settling grudges and political scores?

SIR – Surely the purpose of the Covid Inquiry (Leading Article, December 8) should be to establish how and where the virus started; how well Britain responded to it; and, relative to other nations, the mistakes made and how to do better next time. What we actually hear is a load of deeply personalised questioning, with little apparent purpose beyond blaming and condemning individual people – none of them medical, which is rather puzzling.
