Edinburgh University

Edinburgh University has now produced the scientific evidence to immediately end lockdown. The current pandemic is a regional and demographic problem, not a national one. Continuing lockdown is destroying more lives than it is saving. The government will be judged not on the last seven weeks but on the coming ones, where clear vision and a bold approach will be celebrated but a fearful and hesitant one will not.

Why the contribution is important

Scientific evidence that national lockdown must end next week and a more targeted approach adopted to avoid the destruction of more lives and livelihoods.

    This was obviously the best strategy from the start unfortunatley this dosent give the politicians the chance to show the are strong leaders by making tough decisions so it was never going to happen.

    NIcola wouldnt have been able to ahve her daily media coverage if we had gone down this route.

    Anyone who knows anything about risk management would have chosen this route the banning everything for everyone everywhere was never going to work.

    It is scandalous that we gave more attention to schools where there is a very very low risk of infection than to care homes where there is a very high risk as has been shown.

    Inept incompetant leadership at best.
