Hundreds of scientists have accused the government of 'risking many more lives than necessary' over its plan to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.

Hundreds of scientists have accused the government of"risking many more lives than necessary" over its plan to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.

Thousands of lives could potentially be saved if social distancing measures were put in place immediately, they add in an open letter.They also warn that under"unconstrained growth", the outbreak could affect"millions of people in the next few weeks". That would"most probably" put the NHS at"serious risk of not being able to cope with the flow of patients needing intensive care", it is claimed.

Herd immunity is a death sentence this is not a fucking game you horrible bastad BorisJohnson StandDown

They are fuckin students

Academics...the UK government employs the top qualified scientists paid to make difficult decisions at a national level not in a classroom or internet blog. Their poorly worded petition is an example of their inexperience. Theirs skills could be better used.

When its clear the uk government wants to kill a layer of its population...this is genocide! Nazism in the 21st century! How can they suggest to infect just even .01% of the population!? Why arent these politicians who are suggesting this being locked up for terrorism!?

Your story is stupid

You know what they study, what they are qualified in and of course exactly how qualified they are to speak on the subject compared to the govt's own scientists of course? A respinsible news channel would always research this first wouldn't they otherwise it is fake news

We could be cynical and think the UK Government wants natural selection to take its course and eliminate the sick and the old. Avoiding the cost of economical shut-down and reducing the stress on the NHS and pension deficits.

Very few so-called experts amongst them.

LockdownNOW

Borris said it already,,he is expecting that your loves one will die. He s idiot Prime minister.

No they don’t and are not experts, stop lying

SKY FAKE NEWS IS BACK AGAIN

Since when has Boris managed to make a good decision about anything? if this is all we have for Brexit then we’re in trouble!

Politically motivated arseholes.

They are not experts! Expect better from you

The real scandal here is people panic buying , scumbags! Buying 20 pints of milk at a time ? They would rather see it going in the bin than let other people buy it .

Physics students Wtf would they know about epipdemeolgy lol

So is the uk increase of infections wildly out of line with other countries who have imposed stricter measures? No. They have used their toughest sanctions and are now stuffed it the rates dont change. The UK does still have options. I'm a scientist, but science is a wide field

Fake News wankers or just can’t be bothered verifying sources? It’s a load of Lefty Postgrads mainly from one Uni rabble rousing. Most have little to zero relevant experience in virology. KayBurley adamboultonSKY

And hundreds agree...so we are at an impasse

The medic in charge is the one to be listening to.

The list is not credible for me. I find no expert from related field and a lot of PhD students.

The British public get what they deserve

The law of social media states that.. For every expert, there is an equal and opposite expert.

If there is a food shortage it will lead to anarchy and in effect world war 3

piersmorgan is this not what you have been getting killed over

So not all scientists agree? 🤔

Well .....actually some mathematicians and students.

How many of them are actually experts in the field of virology? Errrrrr 🤔

Its almost a global phenomenon

Clearly taking the chance to lower the population.

Hundreds!! Conservatives are psychopaths.

Scientists say UK virus strategy 'risks lives'Hundreds of scientists write to the government calling for tougher measures to tackle Covid-19. (the USA could've told you that. Boris = Trump) Maybe now the national broadcaster will wake up and critically evaluate Johnson, Cummings et al - and analyse what the current approach will mean for vulnerable groups. The lack of ventilators for all but the private health companies is an issue that needs addressing urgently. Releasing the models is pointless unless they also publish the data on which those models are based.
