Epidemiologists want city the size of Southampton to take part in ambitious experiment

The researchers suggest large-scale testing could be done through examining saliva samples – a technique called RT-LAMP testing, which they said is cheaper and less invasive than nasal or throat swab tests.

Herd immunity anyone

I thought looking at the pictures of beaches the lockdown was over, hope they opened the toilets or there will be an out break of typhoid from the excrement

Portsmouth folk happy for Southampton sized city to be............. Southampton but please close M27 Eastbound.😷😀

Nothing! People are sick and tired of this bs and do their own thing! Nobody gives a shit!

And here I thought experimenting on humans are forbidden.

Wouldn't work, the German block of flats showed that infected people don't care if they infect others & will use physical force to break quarantine, human nature isn't very self sacrificing generally. Other nations eliminated virus through prolonged lockdown, best route for lives

Ah, 'scientists' conducting experiments with no concern for possible fatal side affects. I think they'll need to call in some political experts to advise them on that one.

England has been used as a sick and twisted experiment right from the start of this by Boris and co.

Why do they not conduct mass testing of people millions like Chinese government do on a short period?

As far as I can tell when we failed to lockdown at the beginning it led to deaths. When we failed to lockdown care homes, it led to deaths. Preparing to end lockdown for shielding group, errr?

They should lead by example. Why don't they move there with their entire families and spit in the bucket?

Maybe stick to statistical modelling.......just a suggestion....besides we kinda did that with lockdown.

Look at Sweden. They never locked down & we know exactly what happened there. Google it

Scientists, always up for some laughs.

Far from helpful headline. Very misleading. Poor form

Can't they be their own Guinea pigs?

Some sociopathic scientists these are
