Today we are releasing a short briefing on COVID19, the government response and privacy: the full text is here: openrightsgroup.org/about/reports/… #covid19 #CoronaUK #coronavirus
Key points are that we know very little about the government’s plans on mobile contact tracing apps, or immunity passports, both of which can be done in ways that protect privacy, or not.

The vile UK Far Right have been holding up Sweden's aggressive #HerdImmunity strategy as an exemplar
BUT Sweden's deaths are sadly coming home to roost
Norway, which has tested most & has strict lockdown, has much lower death rate

Some key takeaways:
1) LOOK at the death rates by age group. Under 50s death rate is 0.1% from 803 deaths. Even 50-70 is low. 70+ it bites hard. Takeaway: be responsible. Protect elderly relatives from infection. /2

Next. The ‘good news’ is that the pneumonia experienced by critical cases responds to standard treatments in the standard way. Ventilation, either ‘invasive’ (ie tube) but also some ‘non’ invasive. ICU medicine knows how to do this /3
Next. The critical thing is to be able to provide intensive care beds to everyone who needs one. @DrMCecconi says that is happening in Lombardy and the hard-hit bits of N.Italy/4
