We need lions

The COVID Diaries – 55 22nd May

A leading British scientist, Nobel Prize winner Sir Paul Nurse has severely criticised the Government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking to the BBC Radio 4 Today programme today, Sir Paul said: “The question I’m constantly asking myself is, who is actually in charge of the decisions?”

“We have lions on the front line of clinical care. We need lions also in the leadership so that we can actually really drive this forward.”

“We need a much clearer, publicly presented strategy.”
