A top scientist who advised British leaders on coronavirus lockdown measures said on Tuesday he had resigned from a key government panel after admitting to breaking the country’s rules on social distancing.
The scientist said he had “stepped back” from his role on the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies. A government spokesman confirmed his resignation. The government had ramped up its response to the crisis after research by Ferguson and his colleagues at Imperial College London warned that COVID-19 infections and deaths would spiral without drastic action.
“I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus, and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms,” the professor said.Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was hospitalised by the disease and has now recovered, ordered the initial three-week lockdown on March 23.
Honorable thing to do, but Nigerian will say, we die here, even after he or she has messed up
😂😂😂
If it was in Naija they would give coded justification for disobedience especially immunity clause.We rule here they lead there.
Sensible thing to do. Ours will pile up excuses, including blaming the opposition for causing them to violate NCDC guidelines. Some of them still show up every 4pm, during the briefing, telling us to obey the guidelines. Two rules for two different classes of people. Nonsense!
I have been saying this lockdown mitigation is a no brainer We copied it yet our case increased by over 200% That's what happens when you let old people lead... they must follow colonial standards They don't have sense of their own even after all academics accomplishments 🧟♂️
