    I was delighted to be part of such an expert and inclusive group. In particular the gender and ethnic balance.

    It has been fascinating. I look forward to hearing the follow up & hope press coverage is covered well by media. Government has to listen. One really significant difference is presence of female experts and opening out the discussion to include much more diverse range of issues

    As notes, UK has the same advantages of island status like New Zealand, Taiwan and (effectively) S Korea... yet (despite the Brexiters long-term desires) currently has open borders and is suffering much more from CV-19...!

    Andy Cowper has always been one of, if not, the finest commentators on the NHS. He combines astute with acerbic insights perfectly. This piece is so worth the read. The People’s Chat Show Host | Comment | Health Service Journal

    North Netherlands stopped following the lead from the national Government and took actions that resulted in dramatically fewer deaths. There may be lessons in this story for the Northern Ireland Assembly re the UK.

    Good discussion. By the time one of nine people living in cramped conditions has tested positive how many others will have been infected? Is it not a problem of properly housing valuable workers for this period? A precautionary approach.

    Stark messages about N Ireland (for those willing to listen) from the data published today. The major surprise was the small proportion of deaths taking place in hospital in the week 18 to 24th April. Only 37% took place in hospital and 58% were in care homes. 1/3
