An Oxford University study published on 1 June ranks all 195 countries in the world in order of readiness for easing lockdown.

Keeping in mind that shops, zoos & theme parks will open on Monday, where do you think the UK ranks in the league? #coronavirus #COVID19

Incredibly, in the study which uses 4 out of WHO ‘s 6 criteria, the UK comes 4th from bottom - 191 out of 195 - below South Sudan.

Remember, the #londonriots are only big story in the UK today.

We need to listen to @IndependentSage on whether it is safe to lift the lockdown.

This study👆came out almost 2 weeks ago. Today, The National, a Scottish newspaper finally ran the story.

This SAGE document👇reveals SAGE warned govt on 25 Feb the NHS would be overwhelmed without action.

It was put on gov.uk last night
