researches of the british university of claim that the government's measures have done little to stop the spread of the virus academics at the university of east anglia analyze these sector by sector effectiveness of the lockdown they found closing all nonessential businesses had little impact on the spread of the virus across the country the stay at home guidance was also found to have had little effect however some measures were deemed to be effective closing schools did help in reducing the incidence of coronavirus after a certain time lag period and the ban on mass gatherings also had a positive effect but it comes as figures from the office for national statistics look at patterns between jobs and virus related deaths and the show that the death rate varies everly depending on the sector a person works in the fatality rate among men is also higher than amongst women where security guards are significantly more likely to die of covert 19 with a death rate of over $45.00 per 100000 taxi drivers and chauffeurs are also more than twice as likely to suffer a coronavirus related death care home workers also more risk of death rate of over $23.00 per 1

for searches at a british university of claims that the government's measures have done little to stop the spread of the virus i could i mix at the university of east anglia analyze the sector by sector effectiveness of the lockdown they found that closing all non-essential businesses had little impact on the spread of the virus across the country the stay at home gardens was also found to have little effect however at some measures were deemed to be effective closing schools did help reduce the incidence of coronavirus off to a certain time like period and the ban on mass gatherings also had a positive effect. well it comes as figures from the office for national statistics look at patterns between jobs and virus related deaths that show that the death rate varies heavily depending on the sector a person works in the fatality rate among men is also higher than amongst women and security guards are significantly more likely to die of covert 19 with a death rate of over $45.00 per 100000 taxi drivers and chauffeurs are also more than twice as likely to suffer a coronavirus related death and care home workers are also more risk a death rate of over $23.00 p

earlier, i spoke to drjulii brainard, who is a senior research associate at the university of east anglia'sthe effectiveness of masks in limiting the spread of respiratory illness. i asked her where she stands on this debate — do face masks work or not? i don't have a lot of faith in them, but what we found is that, on balance, when people bore them in what you would think as community settings, places like visiting the shops, public transport, just out and about, they seems to be protected more often than not. so we think there's a decent chance they can be protective. and i have heard it said that they are better at stopping the wearer of the mask spreading the virus then contracting it, as it were. is that right? that is not what we found. maybe it needs more experiments, because we can separate our data sometimes, in cases where you knew there was an infected person in the situation, in the environment, and needed that infectious person or the well people we re infectious person or the well people were the mask or both of them were the mask, and the best effective when both of them were

we can talk now to university of east anglia's climate change science professor, corrine le quere, whorejoined by former mayor of that city, david miller, who is now director of international diplomacy at the c40 cities, a global coalition of mayors promoting climate action. what was that drop? not by itself. but the way people now go back to work and the government putting on their economic stimulus package, this could make a big difference. which pandemic policies should city's keep? first we have a concern about the pandemic. but thinking about the pandemic. but thinking about how to recover from the pandemic they are looking at policies that will address an economic recovery and also a health recovery in a low carpal way. a numberof recovery in a low carpal way. a number of cities have surplus roads in favour of active transportation, cycling and pedestrian sensitive cars. we are seeing cities like london making public transport safe. and a numberof london making public transport safe. and a number of cities working on issues of housing including ways to make our buildings more ene

there's just one really important study, came out from the university of east anglia last week. rate at which the virus reproduces, school closures so if we're going to have schools opening, we're going to have schools opening, we need to do that in the safest way possible and we are saying, we need to work with government and we need to work with government and we need to be involved in ensuring that the return to school is as safe as it can possibly be because the last thing any of us want is a second spike and we know if we don't do this right, not getting schools back in the right way, is the single most effective way of ensuring a second spike in the community. and that's the last thing we need. so our position is reasonable. it's responsible. we don't think all the groups should come back at the same time, we think perhaps one year group should come back, maybe year six, we test, see how that goes, if its side, if the school can't manage, we get another year group back on a three—year groups back, particularly in infant school spot in primary schools, we think it's too soo
