BBC - An infectious disease modeler Prof Deirdre Hollingsworth, of Oxford University - whoever thought such a job exists!
"UK want to try and flatten the curve to 'manage' things, to prevent a peak that overwhelms the NHS.
Using Italy as an example, which we want to avoid in the UK.
Avoid high density areas, we have to make our own choices how to protect ourselves on travelling, handwashing, then we benefit everyone by slowing it down"
Looks like she's on the same wavelength as our 'eye candy' Prof. at UCL and Chris Whitty.
They seem to know what they're doing! Just frustrating for the rest of us.
