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.

Looks like it's going to be quicker to get to the bar in Wetherspoons for the foreseeable future: "BBC News - Coronavirus: Isolation for over-70s 'within weeks' bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51895873"

Mate, you are meant to be in isolation for 4 weeks. Didn't you read your orders?

Herd Immunity; I’m an epidemiologist. When I heard about Britain’s herd immunity coronavirus plan I thought it was satire -William Hanage professor of the evolution and epidemiology of infectious disease Harvard #COVID19 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

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 )

Just off to Tesco now. I don't make a shopping list as I "nudge" myself toward the correct aisles, so it involves careful planning. Looking foward to pasta! @Tesco

Hi, Dave here. First post. Dominic and I are concerned that you all might have got the wrong end of the stick about our ‘Herd Immunity’ plan. So I thought it time to give you all a little ‘nudge’ (Ha!). Remember, it is all quite simple: 1/2
2/2 1. Wash your hands. 2. Be ready to be “nudged” (Ha!) to bury your loved ones in large numbers 3. Err, that’s it. Finally, send your child (or rather, the one you like least) to our new ‘Covid parties’ starting on Monday. More updates soon. Until then, keep “nudging” (HaHa!).
