Last week @RobinToal met @IndependentSAGE Chair and Founder, @Sir_David_King King to discuss the UK government response coronavirus pandemic and trust in science. With #PubsReopening in England, furthering the possibility of a #secondwave, we’re sharing the best bits. Thread ⬇️
What problems was @IndependentSage trying to solve?

The main point is that we put our advice into the government, as SAGE does, but we also put our advice into the public domain, and the object is to demonstrate how trust can be developed with the public.

#COVID19 #coronavirus
Producers know that if they approach members of government, including science advisors, they always get turned down. That's not the way to get the #trust of the public. If you want the public to behave in such a way that we manage the pandemic, you have to have their trust.

"If we get this down to 20,000 & below, that's a good outcome”

We know how many #COVID19 deaths Vallance claimed he believed would be a good outcome

I can now reveal how many deaths SAGE believed would represent the best & worst scenarios👇#BreakingNews
These newly released SAGE documents from 29 March, show that SAGE’S Reasonable Worst Case scenario had a maximum of 50,000 direct deaths between March & Sept.

Their best scenario was 6,000.

We’ve already exceeded their worst scenario...& it’s only July! assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… ImageImageImage
This SAGE document released tonight was produced on 27 March

Vallance's "20,000 deaths is a good outcome" comments were on 17 March

On 16 March, @neil_ferguson had warned 250,000 deaths without any action

This is a time for sober, well-informed, transparent leadership & for MPs journalists & experts to challenge govt where they go wrong.

An Inquiry in 2021? What for?

We know what went wrong & why.

We know the govt ignored warnings.

We know this not sheer incompetence/bumbling.
