all right, vicki young, thank you very much. so, as we've heard, the government's own medical and scientific advisers were ringing the alarm bells weeks ago. their clear aim was to get the r number below one, the point at which the coronavirus will eventually stop spreading. our medical editor fergus walsh takes a close look at what the scientists wanted. the sage documents warned of catastrophic consequences, unless rapid action was taken to bring the r number down. it is currently 1.2 to 1.5 which means every ten infected people are passing the virus to between 12 and 15 ours. to between 12 and 15 others. the measures we know will reduce the prevalence, and the danger of introducing measures that are not strict enough is they are still economically damaging and damaging to personal freedoms, but the prevalence keeps rising. the scientific advisers wanted a two week circuit breaker lockdown with an order for people to stay at home. they thought this would bring the r number below one but would have a short—term impact, perhap
