COVID-19: APPEARANCES ON BBC

In the last few weeks I have appeared live on BBC Radio Oxford's "Breakfast Club", interviewed by Sony Award-winning presenter David Prever.

You can listen to these broadcasts for 29 days after the day of each broadcast, as follows:

(1) TODAY WEDNESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

Talking about 'false alerts' using the new NHS COVID-19 App. The whole feature started 3hr6:15 and I was the second speaker after 3hr10. 

This was raising points in this subsequent blogpost:

(2) WEDNESDAY 23 SEPTEMBER 2020

Talking about whether PM Johnson had done enough in the measures announced the day before, starting 3hr20

This was then discussed further in this blogpost:

COVID-19: HAS PM JOHNSON DONE ENOUGH?    

The discussion on 'what I would do if I was PM' was unexpected, and my response was what I would have suggested over the summer when daily "new confirmed cases" were below 1000.  

Now the rate is far higher, a more aggressive approach would be needed to get to #NearZero.  The approach came to me a few days after this broadcast.  But this idea has the advantage that it should require an even shorter "Mass Self-Isolation" explained in this blogpost:

COVID-19: NOW HERE'S AN IDEA

  

(3) FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 2020

Talking about the impending "Rule of 6", and its impact on families with four children and amateur musical groups, starting at 3:25:30

Here's the relevant blogpost:
