Second Lockdown

An excellent thread by Jeremy Farrar, Director of the Wellcome Trust and SAGE member, on what is needed right now to fight the second wave of coronavirus in the UK – political will and the courage to act before it is too late.

Depending on how things go, we may look back at the Government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme as the first step towards a second coronavirus lockdown, for the half-price discount scheme didn’t encourage a “return to normal”; it encouraged extravagant levels of eating out.
