...and draw your own conclusions.
The interview by Dr Tullekin with Dr Adam Kucharski associate professor of epidemiology at London School of Tropical Medicine (@ minute 31.52) I found particularly revealing.
What HMG (understandably) aren't telling us is that at least one of the groups of epidemiologists modelling this pandemic and advising Boris are fairly convinced this thing could potentially run on for the next 1-2 years.
Or more optimistically till more effective treatments are found, or a vaccine is developed, produced and administered to a large percentage of the population.
So IMHO, without wishing to depress people, we need to be realistic in our expectations: we could well be without live attended sport of any description for far longer than the remainder of this season. This is the new Dystopian reality we may well find ourselves in.
More importantly it's time for a huge reality check and do what we can for all those 1.5M on the NHS isolation list, and all those 60+ who may made need help. We need to take this thing very seriously and focus on complying with all the all advice this programm suggests, NOT for the next few weeks, but for the foreseeable future.....
My personal take......
If in a position to do so PLEASE VOLUNTEER to help those geographically close to you to ISOLATE, and to do it properly. Minimize direct social interraction, minimize travelling.
You will save lives. #BE KIND
