Wider collateral damage to children in the UK because of the social distancing [...] COVID-19, 2020, Crawley et al. And other papers by Crawley et al

Hi @Justy, lovely to hear from you, hope you and her Dad improve soon.

 

I don't know how accurate these figures are, but apparently in the three months of the run up to lockdown 18.1 million people flew into the UK (I assume many of them were transferring to other flights and flying out again, but I'm only guessing), and only 273 were put into quarantine. Dealing with that situation more sensibly might have massively reduced the numbers getting infected in the UK and saved lots of lives.

I have also read that 100,000 people are still flying into the UK every week and they aren't getting screened.

 

Yep!

(drumming up more 'business')

 

Is it really research when you can predict, almost verbatim, what will in be the conclusions?

And when your conclusions contain the very questions that are supposed to be answered, unanswered, is it really meaningful research?

This is "research" that contributes nothing. I have no idea what purpose this actually serves other than building a fake portfolio on quantity without quality.

 

I hope they're not locked into that.
