Combination of tweet plus clip from Question Time.
A warning that those saying the virus will miraculously disappearing are just telling people what they want to hear, and that inevitably and frustratingly “cases will go up”.

The group downplaying the severity of #SARSCov2 back in March returned in May to double-down on claims the majority of UK population was already infected & the pandemic was all but over. Again.
They were mistaken again, but still persist.

The worst thing isn’t the act, but total lack of leadership & ownership in Govt response.
No, I’ve not moved on. It’s not like I’ve been distracted by their mind-blowing Public Health response. That’s just me, Devi’s take is here:

@devisridhar takes part in the Hay Festival online. This great thread of quotes from the chat and Q&A session demonstrates vision and the exceptional clarity with which that vision is communicated.

A view on why continual enforced shielding is not a viable policy. This view is particularly pertinent to the problematic Great Barrington Declaration that would emerge some months later.

“Is the worst of the pandemic behind us?”
Warnings of potential future problems, with yet more signposting to solutions within the experience of successful nations. Surely UK Govt is picking up on this by now?

“How best to use July & August?”
Solutions, strategy, vision – it’s all here, just needed someone in power to take note and understand the consequences of inaction.

How many more times can one person spell out the actions needed and the consequences of dithering? This is entirely consistent with everything written all year – prepare to use the time wisely, then act swiftly!

Headline speaks for itself:
“We Will Pay for Our Summer Vacations With Winter Lockdowns”
And we do now know the majority of second-wave UK cases are from strains imported from Spain.

As we enter lockdown 2, we know there is a better way. At what point will the UK choose it? So far Govt talk of suppression hasn’t been backed by action. If we want real progress, it’s time for that to change.

How much of the thinking so far has been all about Country A vs Country B vs Country C?
There’s a wider perspective that in the future countries will want and need to work together. Policies and conditions will need to align.

SUMMARY:
All of the above demonstrates knowledge, expertise, leadership, and foresight on the complexities of responding to #SARSCov2; very much including the impacts from restrictions and impacts to non-Covid conditions.
THIS IS WHAT THE UK NEEDS.

Note: All of this has been delivered in the face of abuse & misogyny from trolls, and patronising mansplaining from so-called professionals.
@devisridhar has to work 10x as hard to be heard, as any woman can understand. Yet she still does exactly that for the benefit of all.

We are lucky to have many experts seeking the best outcomes for all. These are the people who should be given the opportunity to lead the UK response to this crisis
There are egos out there who see you as just a number.
And then there is a Professor of Global Health.
