Coronavirus vaccine could be available by September, according to professor of vaccinology
Criticism of the UK government's response to coronavirus is growing after one of its top scientific advisers said the country was likely to be among the worst affected in Europe.
Professor John Ashton, a former public health director, called on the government to be"completely honest", as the recorded number of deaths being put out is only those who have died in hospital, and does not include deaths in care homes and in the community. "There's a lot of worry now on social media that we're not being given the full picture. People need to be treated like adults," he said.so far, with doctors who came out of retirement, as well as a disproportionate number of workers from black, asian and ethnic minority backgrounds among those who have lost their lives.
The government faced serious criticism early on in the spread of the pandemic in the UK, after messages from officials led to confusion over the strategy being pursued, and the country was relatively slow to shut down non-essential businesses and public gatherings.
