The UK Covid-19 Inquiry has found that the government response to the pandemic was "too little, too late" - imposing lockdown a week earlier could have saved 23,000 lives.

James asks his callers lay their emotions bare and share the most significant, and often tragic, moments of the pandemic with him.
