Interview with GOD and a Swede

[9goals2hattricks3pen]

Two interesting interviews on Radio 4's the Today prog between 7.15 and 7.30. One with Lord Gus O'Donnell and the Swede credited with Sweden's very different approach to the rest of Europe.

O'Donnell was asking the question 'How much consideration is being given to people's other health and mental problems when deciding how and when we proceed with ending the lockdown' He made the point that the make up of the SAGE Group is unknown. Are there any 'behavioural experts included' He stopped short of saying folk might have to die for the good of others.But only just.
Just to make it clear. He was only asking questions not saying he was correct on what is an emotional subject. And I wouldn't put my summary of a few lines as necessarily an accurate account of what he said.

Anders Tegnell is a Swedish epidemiologist and expert who reckons it is OK to have gatherings up to 50 and leave pubs and restaurants open. They do have more deaths than other Nordic countries but he believes the immunity Swedes will get will protect them better in the future. When asked 'If he was sure if this was the best way forward' he replied 'No one can be sure'

If interested listen back rather than accept my recall of what was said. It does highlight how even the most eminent scientists can't agree
