SIR – In the past seven days, deaths with Covid-19 have fallen by more than 33 per cent, and hospital admissions by more than 21 per cent.
Scientists and politicians will attribute this news to the lockdown and vaccination programme, but a build-up of natural immunity, seasonal factors and new treatments may also have played a role. We don’t know.
However, what we do know is that the economy needs rebooting, and fast. Tomorrow’s Budget may be the most important of our lifetimes. Good luck to Rishi Sunak. His numbers will be equally important.
Professor Liam Smeeth will be LSHTM’s new Director as of 1 August 2021
The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Liam Smeeth as Director. He will take over the role from Professor Peter Piot in August 2021.
Prof Smeeth is currently Dean of the Faculty of Epidemiology & Population Health and Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at LSHTM, and also a general practitioner in north London.
He has led a distinguished career in public health and is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Prof Smeeth is a leader in the use of electronic health records, completing ground-breaking work on drug effects, disease aetiology and the evaluation of interventions. His work on the MMR vaccine and autism was of central importance in demonstrating safety and led to a recovery in vaccine uptake. He also undertakes substantial international work focussed on non-communicable diseases in low-income settings.
