tomcatty: A former government advisor has warned that “people will die” if social distancing measures are not reimposed over the Christmas period.
Professor Neil Ferguson, a former member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), said the government would have to weigh up the “cost versus the benefits” in the coming weeks.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, he said: “It risks some transmission and there will be consequences of that. Some people will die because of getting infected on that day.
“But if it is only one or two days the impact is likely to be limited. So that is really a political judgement about the cost versus the benefits.”
ChesneyChrist: Live slow, die old is absolutely taking the piss now we must step back from the infanticide of today's feminine standards and do what needs to be done. Not as precious as you think you are the inflated self-appraisal is a murderer. You must be the one thing there has not been since before you were born - a man.
