Nudges. Herds. Insights. Vast herds of nudges, sweeping majestically down to the mass graves of Corona victims. Possibly not the real DH. Ok, it's not.

An apology regarding herd immunity: We may have given the impression yesterday that we want coronavirus to sweep through the population. This was a misunderstanding, due to us saying that we want coronavirus to sweep through the population. I hope that clarifies things.Thank you.

UK policy is reckless: they’ve stopped population testing, contact tracing and rigorous quarantine measures - the bedrock of epidemic control and WHO advice. This will not delay but accelerate the epidemic. THREAD (1 )

@DHSCgovuk @uksciencechief Love what you've done with the graph guys. Just as we discussed. Couple of minor thoughts, though - transparency and all that. What's on the Y axis? And the X-axis? You seem to have left the numbers off! Easy mistake to make, no biggie!

Yesterday we entered the Delay phase of our #COVID_19uk Action Plan. @UKScienceChief explained why this is important.
It allows us to #FlattenTheCurve, which means reducing the impact in the short-term to ensure our health & care system can effectively protect vulnerable people

@uksciencechief Well said, Sir Patrick. And the best way, we agreed, to avoid the NHS getting overwhelmed, was to ensure the rapid spread of...of...of...Hang on. Patrick, could we grab a quick face-to-face over a cappuchoo-choo in the morning? I've got a teensy-eensy worryette developing

@Independent At last. It's about time these public health experts like ann widdecombe shared their expertise in [*checks notes*] statistical modelling of disease outbreaks, sorry, I mean "literally fucking nothing".

@trishgreenhalgh No idea, but our guys will have a bash. I'l ask Dom, he knows about sciencey stuff. Send cheque, we will work the details out later.

@MartinShovel To be honest, the only sensible ideas I have come up with, have come from the cleaner of a client of a friend. Certainly not from this nudge nonsense.

People on social media have started sharing information purportedly from the cousin of a friend whose cleaner has a client who sits on the government’s Cobra committee. If true, perhaps it’s time they fessed up & stepped down 🤢
