Hugh Pennington— “never mind”

(comment for the Times 24/12)

Sir Hugh “never mind” Pennington, of Aberdeen, is on GMB TV just now making a few points:

Track & Trace too slow — indeed this was just reported in the Scottish section of the news. “People saying that they will isolate but don’t”

Virus mutates (not as fast flu)

Because UK doing a lot of genome sequencing leads to a required faster response than other countries.

He had earlier written that it is very difficult to judge Virus transmission rates as such verification experiments would be unethical.
