discussed possible ways forward with british lawyer lou get off that liberal democrat party politician helen belcher. but i can understand why it's being proposed but there are 2 aspects to this the 1st is the practicality of doing it with still any testing 10000 people a day for the virus there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test to get certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible and also you then have the unintended consequence so it is quite possible that employers for example will turn around and say well actually you must have a valid antibody test the practicalities are difficult no one claimed it's going to be easy but it can be managed you know germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we call them is underestimated the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know we're seeing a 1000000 new claims for social security for your group and in this country going in

possible ways forward with the british lawyer luke get us and also liberal democrat party politician helen belcher. there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test it gets it if it's for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible practicalities it difficult no one claimed it's going to be easy but it can be managed you know germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we can't do is underestimate the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know we're seeing a 1000000 new claims for social security or you quit in this country going in suggesting people are losing their jobs feel as if they're about to lose their jobs of course the government is not going to allow any system of testing there is certain but if we can get to a place where we let people return to work if they have the necessary antibodies if that is scientifically possible then in principle it's something we absolutely have to s

red herring well earlier i debated this with loyally good sauce and liberal democrat politician helen belcher there are 2 aspects to this the 1st is the practicality of doing it with still any testing 10000 people a day for the virus there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test to give certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible and also you then have the unintended consequence is so it is quite possible that employees for example will turn around and say well actually you must have a valid antibody test we also don't know whether immunity is perpetual or whether it expires whether the antibodies that people generate when they fight the disease are the same so what we might be many different kinds of antibodies and how distinct are those antibodies from other antibodies things that are common you know very very bright is a common cold about a 3rd of what we think is the common cold a caused by other part types of corona virus known

important step forward or red herring want to debate this i'm joined by liberal democrat politician helen belcher and loyally i get off thank you very much indeed for joining us is off today well if i could start with you i mean consider if it gets a game changer in helping us get back to normal i can't stand why it's being proposed but there are 2 aspects to this the 1st is the practicality of doing it with still any testing 10000 people a day for the virus there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test to give certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible and also you then have the unintended consequence is so it is quite possible that employers for example will turn around and say well actually you must have a valid antibody test we also don't know whether immunity is perpetual or whether it expires whether the antibodies that people generate when they fight the disease are the same so what with it might be many different kinds of antib
