The population have been exposed to the virus or had the virus. That, of course, raises questions about the risk of a second spite and the disease coming back. Testing, testing, testing is the answer. He will be pleased to note that this country is now testing twice as many had of population as any other european country. The former chief scientific adviser has said that tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if the government had acted differently. If we had had the same death rate as south korea, a country whose population and income is not very different to ours, we would have had a few hundred deaths, not the many tens of thousands that we have had. Is todays announcement, which is about appeasing right wingers on the backbenches, this government gambling with peoples lives . understand why the honourable gentleman makes the point that he does. I think he is wrong, and i welcome, by contrast, the more constructive approach we have heard from the labour front bench. Optimi
