Even Government scientists are saying that Britain’s unlock is too slow
Posted 1.30 pm UK time
A member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Modelling (SPI-M) group of Sage has said that the Government’s ‘roadmap’ out of lockdown could be sped up because of the success of the vaccine rollout.
Meanwhile, Professor Tim Spector, an epidemiologist at King’s College London, has criticised Sage for frequently making use of the most pessimistic assumptions, ‘perhaps to avoid complacency’ among the public.
It’s about time the Government properly considered advice from bodies other than Sage, that great harbinger of doom.
I report on this for Lockdown Sceptics here.
