Morning Poll: Was Government's COVID-19 Response Adequate?

The Morning Poll is soliciting public opinion on the adequacy of the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative follows findings from a COVID-19 inquiry that indicated vulnerable care home residents were treated as an "afterthought" and potentially sacrificed to protect the National Health Service (NHS), leading to virus spread.

The poll encourages readers to vote and states that the results will be published in the Morning Mail newsletter tomorrow. The inquiry's findings suggest significant failings in the initial response, allowing the virus to spread rapidly, particularly impacting those in care facilities.
