That criticism has powers that we never imagined would be asked of us, so that's the first thing, the second thing is that I would ask any of you critics to come on your show to complain about how we behave. I will only follow our steps for a few. feet and understand what my colleagues are facing because what is happening out there is unprecedented, so we will make mistakes, we will do things wrong, but as I have said numerous times this week, you have to come with us on this one because I totally agree. I agree and I think we all support the police.

It is an exceptionally difficult time, but when you say mistakes are being made I mean, for example, Derbyshire Police trying to reduce the number of people going to the police.

I understand what you are saying and what has been put before us. You know, but we have to understand. No. I'm going to be critical of my colleagues across the country. No. I come here to do that because we all have the challenge of dealing with this and dealing with the perception that is in front of us and my colleagues in London know that it is a very, very difficult situation that each and every one of us finds ourselves in. people. saying to be attentive to individuals, but to more colleagues, different from that because you are asking us to do exactly that to confront people, you know that we have to put pressure, this is understood and we need the help of the public, since you see, okay, let's bring in Peter Hitchens, you would be very expressive, Peter, you don't agree.

I guess I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you think the lockdown is exaggerated, it's reacting to hysteria, it's unnecessary, that's your position. in this proportion is disproportionate to the danger we may face and is driven by hysteria and, in fact, for reasons no one can explain to me, it will give me some evidence that confining the entire population to their homes will actually save a single life. There is such evidence if you look at all the places where the corona virus has broken out, it has been tackled in many different ways by many different countries, there is no pattern to suggest that this method will work as major countries like Sweden and Japan are not taking this way, the economic damage is colossal and I must warn you that a country that suffers economic damage will have serious difficulties in maintaining high levels of health or healthcare because it simply will not be able to afford it, it will not be able to afford the Health Service or pollution control or control of food quality nor the general standards of living that they are accustomed to, so this entire discussion we are having about This is based entirely on the speculation of a certain group of scientists who are volubly challenged.
I have a cell phone. You know, you wouldn't know it in most media from other scientists, particularly Professor Secret Bhakti from my University in Germany, who is eloquent and extremely persuasive. The arguments against this should really have more questions. There may be individual cases where the police may overstep their bounds, but these are laws now. Aren't you in danger of undermining them by saying that this is it? here to criticize individual actions of the police, we know that many of them are ridiculous and neither was Lord Suunción in his extraordinary interview yesterday and in the article he wrote for The Times last week what he says is that the whole thing is disproportionate and that you can go to Peter Hitchens' blog and read the full text or listen to the full interview in which it is clear that he says that the real question is whether this is serious enough to justify home confinement for most of our population, ruining our economy for an indefinite period, destroying businesses that are honest. and working people say yes, this is vital, this is this, this is one of the smartest and most intelligent and most I understand it, but you know you want your gas to increase, you saw what I saw, I guess I want I'll get back to you on this bill and I'm trying to give it some space in a medium that has been extraordinary, that's your power, but it's not really

good

, yes Peter, we've given you a lot of time for more time, you say it's disproportionate.
Can you stop being lazy because it doesn't make sense? We try to have a debate here. You'll want a full time. Be considerate of other guests. Please, I have a question for you. Stop talking. Peter. Can you think of any other answer? Okay, I'll try to ask you a question. Can you think of any other health crises like this? We have died 52 doctors, as they have done in Italy, in a country, trying to fight it, because if you can't, this is unprecedented. Well, there is a particular problem here. I know you are focusing on doctors, but there is undoubtedly a strong suspicion that Europe's health services are not very prepared with personal protective equipment if you are in constant contact, as many doctors are particularly ENT specialists and Threatened ophthalmologists know patients suffering from the virus very closely and, if adequate personal protective equipment is not available, there is a serious danger of suffering from a particularly intense form and I believe that the unprepared nurse in our health service in terms of having this team and the Italian Health Service has probably been very important in this and we have to be extremely concerned and saddened by the deaths of doctors who bravely treated the people in the audience, this has to happen, but in reality is not the point about whether this is the biggest crisis we have had every year in this country for the last few years seventeen thousand people have died from influenza in a recent year this is the season 20 2014 2015 twenty-eight thousand three hundred thirty people died from influenza In England alone, this is unprecedented as a winter crisis in the National Health Service or one of the few that runs through any Odyssey, cousin of Peter Hitchens.
If you're drawing any parallels between this

coronavirus

and the common flu then I'm afraid you're talking complete nonsense why do we know we know it's okay let me go to the experts don't hear from me let's go to Gabriel Scalli who used to be one of those responsible for public health in this country cable is scary, you have heard that apparently it is just another common flu, there is nothing to see here and we should be exaggerating greatly, well, I think nonsense is the correct description of that type of notion, yes there is flu and yes there are viruses during the winter and during the winter period we have more deaths in winter than in summer because of those viruses, but that is for a whole period of support oh six months, the problem with the corona virus is the intensity of the disease that it produces and secondly that it comes strangely like a tsunami and you can see that in Italy and it would overwhelm the best prepared health service in the world, so the only way to deal with this is just with proper public health practices which are testing and contact tracing and that's what the UK is not doing and the other thing is isolation, making sure that people can't transmit it to each other and the only way to do that is It's the kind of thing that has happened, that people have to stay in their homes, construction sites or factories are closing you down.
