Former Chief Scientific Advisor Sir David King tells @LBC he's "really saddened" by the omission of deaths outside hospitals from the UK's #coronavirus statistics.
"It means we haven't got a clue where we are," he says.
"It means we haven't got a clue where we are," he says.
He says if the deaths in care homes are 50%, as per @LSEnews study yesterday, it means the UK's death toll is starting to look "pretty awful" in relation to other countries.
Brutal assessment from former Chief Scientific Advisor Sir David King:
"We didn’t manage this until too late and every day's delay has resulted in further deaths in the United Kingdom.
It goes back to 2010… Austerity measures cost lives."
