Agree but not sure the loophole thing was anything like as big a problem before the entire government machine lined up to explain why loopholes that didn't even exist excused one Number 10 employee's highly risky conduct https://twitter.com/devisridhar/status/1341008604728582144

Anecdotal observation from family in Germany that the seeming uptick in Covid cases there now is partly down to fatigue of mask wearing and other safety measures, especially amongst younger folk, as they open up more. Important lesson that we need to stick at it. @devisridhar

UK. I don't know how we do it, but can we please just put @devisridhar in charge?

Look, I've got family. I want them to survive. Please don't make Devi have to fight the system. She should be the system.

Hey, @MattHancock this is what @devisridhar said back in March.

You failed to heed expert advice back in March. It appears you've failed to heed their advice regarding xmas relaxations, which will inevitably lead to #Lockdown3

My heart goes out to Prof @devisridhar - having to listen to complete amateurs until she's invited to comment.

Would love your expertise to be exploited, but maybe this isn't the forum.

Devi Sridhar said it early
Prof. Devi Sridhar @devisridhar • Jan 26, 2020 Too much fear of overreaction. Better to react and prevent something than wait and have to treat it later (core tenet of public health). Being blamed later for overreacting comes with the territory.

Prof Devi Sridhar of Edinburgh University thinks her estimates of deaths in Gaza may well have been too low. When will Starmer act?
