This was @CMO_England two weeks ago explaining why govt hadn’t banned large gatherings & closed pubs, restaurants, schools etc.
"We do need to do it at the last reasonable point” he says.
Today, along with the PM & Health Sec, he come down with #Convid19

Chris Whitty was speaking here on 12 March.
If was 4 more days before the govt realised the scientific modelling upon which they’d based their #Herd_Immunity strategy was wrong.
They did a U-turn on 16 March, but it was too late. #coronavirus #COVID19

Virtually every epidemiologist across the world was saying the same thing: “You need to act quickly to combat #coronavirus.”
Chris Whitty & Patrick Vallance’s view that “we don’t want to act too soon” is why UK is seeing a steep rise in #COVID19 deaths.

CLARIFICATION: The PM & Hancock tested positive for #COVID19.
Whitty only “has #coronavirus symptoms.”
It is inconceivable that @CMO_England would not be tested.
Had his test proved positive, it would have been announced.
This means he is awaiting results or doesn’t have it.
