Asked what he regrets, SAGE's Professor John Edmunds: "We should have gone into lockdown earlier. It would have been hard to pull the trigger at that point, but it has cost a lot of lives unfortunately" #Marr
John Edmunds also warns large #BlackLivesMatter demonstrations increase the chance of Covid-19 spreading again: “If one in a thousand people are infectious, then a crowd of thousands would have some who are infectious in it. It does increase the risk" #Marr
Are you sure lives would not have been saved by locking down earlier? Matt Hancock ducks answering: “I’m sure that taking into account everything we knew at that moment, my view is we made the right decisions at the right time” #Marr
