From Red to Green....

The yellow and red was very specifically chosen to connote warning, hazard, emergency around the “stay home” message... Red & Green have v different meaning in safety regs...
In UK law* Red has a “meaning or purpose” of “prohibition”, “danger alarm”.. and instructs on “dangerous behaviour.. stop.. shutdown”.

Yellow is a warning.

Green is used to connote information about escapes but not danger...

*Health and Safety Regs 1996. Actually European law
Also red to green semiotics will be colour coded into the new 5 level virus warning level system on which we are currently at 4.

Interested how we get from red to green in 5 stages...

DHSC just tweeted this...
This bit is of public policy importance...

Prof acting “in belief” he was immune... but there is quite a big debate about immune characteristics of this....

All the modeling depend on degree of natural immunity while we wait for treatments/vaccines

Doesn’t this resignation continue “led by the science” fallacy?

Prof Ferguson and SAGE offer advice.

The Government decides, based on advice, balancing all factors off. Ministers aren’t told to what to do by scientists, they are told what might happen...

Not a decision maker.
