    UK Health Minister releases plan, but because of the governments ban on talking to most of the media, including the BBC, the article was initially behind a pay wall in the Conservative mouthpiece, The Telegraph.

    Hope the article also covers how many more own goals are they planning.

    No cause for celebration just yet, but definitely a step in the right direction

    More questions for the UK 'plan', this time from the British Society for Immunology

    The UK leads the world for the quality of our immunology research. Given our current lack of knowledge on SARS-CoV-2, our community of immunologists have two asks.

    Firstly, we feel more needs to be done to ensure social distancing to limit the number of COVID-19 cases in the short term, especially for vulnerable members of our communities. This will enable us to buy time until we understand the virus better and can begin to develop therapeutics.

    Secondly, to aid efforts, we call on the government to release their modelling data to allow scrutiny from the scientific community to better predict the course of this outbreak. We have a small window of opportunity to protect our nation, to learn about this new emerging virus and to deal with this unprecedented threat to global health.

    Its not a suprise. Abe and the rest of the Japanese establishment have invested significant political capital into the Olympics. So has the IOC. To see it cancelled would be a tremendous blow to both. But shouldn't health and safety be the priority? Of course, but we don't live in an ideal world and there are always conflicting priorities. The only question is, can Japan bring the outbreak under control before the Olympics?
