the risks, there are a number of things we are doing to minimise the risks.irus and, additionally, as soon as we have established that they are infected which will be tested by swabs, we will be administering antivirals as a proactive measure to minimise risk. will you require them to isolate for two weeks after this virus has been injected into them? how much will you injected into them? how much will y°u pay injected into them? how much will you pay them for giving up their time? ~ ., time? we will require them to isolate. time? we will require them to isolate- it _ time? we will require them to isolate. it is _ time? we will require them to isolate. it is one _ time? we will require them to isolate. it is one of _ time? we will require them to isolate. it is one of the - time? we will require them to i isolate. it is one of the benefits. you conduct the studies and a very controlled medical setting. in the royal free hospital in a specially designed wing of the hospital is not in general use. the volunteers will be in their own rooms with ensuite bathrooms

by confining it to a group of really healthy, fit, young adults, one is absolutely minimising the risk's why that group's being targeted. of the programme about, well, does that extrapolate to other people? all human beings have much more in common than they have different. yes, it's true that the immune system of older people and young children, and to some extent pregnant women and other people, is slightly different. but we have so much in common that we will learn a huge amount about the way in which the covid virus infects somebody, a human being, and the way in which the human immune system reacts to defend it. and that will give us a huge amount of information. this learning curve which scientists have been on since the beginning of last year, it is extraordinary, it seems to me, the amount that has been learnt and understood in such a short space of time. that's not to diminish the pain of those who've lost loved ones during this pandemic, but from a scientific research perspective, again it strikes those of us following all of this this that remarkable achievements have been m

clear message from matt hancock that it is absolutely vital that people in those affected areas minimiseg. he did say it is not going to be _ say it is not going to be straightforward to cut the chains of transmission. i think there has been some asymptomatic spread in these areas because they cannot identify where it has come from or link it back to a person who has travelled to south africa. the other fear is that these cases have been identified because of the genomic sequencing that the uk does. we sequence between five and 10% of every case that tests positive so it is quite conceivable and in fact quite likely that there are more cases of the south african variant out there. so why are we trying to really tackle this when perhaps it seems very difficult? i think the ambition is, publicly they will say they are trying to contain it but if not then at least slow the spread because this variant whilst it is more transmissible, does not cause more transmissible, does not cause more serious illness however it does seem to make vaccines less effective. they still do something, a figure o

done what we asked thejcvi to do, which i think is the right thing, which is to make sure that we minimisenjust add a bit more colourfor you, isuppose, to i canjust add a bit more colourfor you, i suppose, to say that the 0ns data on the occupations with the highest rates of death begin with restaurant and catering establishment managers and proprietors, follow on to metalworking and machine operatives, food, drink and tobacco process operatives, chefs, taxi and cab drivers. i won't go on, but all of the death rates in the groups i mentioned are in excess of 100 deaths per 100,000 for males. if you look at teachers, and the 0ns has now assembled some data on teachers for the period for the 9th of march last year to the 28th of december, the figures for male teachers, the figure is 18.4 per 100,000 for mortality, and that compares with an age average for a comparable age of 31.4. so if our objective is to save lives and reduce hospitalisations, then we have to start in a logical place. and if our objective is to prioritise by age, we would have two... if we wanted to do it by occupation, th
