@Sime0nStylites @rowena_kay Public transport is the big challenge for London. Hard to run if maintaining 2 metre social distancing rule. But don’t underestimate how hard politically it will be to differentiate on location. Need a political consensus on it. — PolitiTweet.org

The evidence that would be produced by pilots wouldn’t just help the Government make decisions, it might also reassure the public if it demonstrated that some activities didn’t substantially increase the risk of infection. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
One of the biggest challenges of this approach would be the politics of different rules applying in different places. But it would enable the Govt to be more confident in any decisions in future about easing restrictions, helping the economy & keeping R below 1. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
The Govt right to say that the UK won’t ease restrictions if that will result in R going above 1 and that any decisions will be driven by the data. But how to get the data? There’s a strong case for small scale pilots & trials of eased restrictions + intensive testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Not the biggest issue, but I’m pretty sure that Deighton rhymes with Brighton not Leyton. In any event, Lord Deighton is very capable and a good choice to grip the PPE issue. — PolitiTweet.org

A very good point. Current circumstances with regard to PPE demonstrate the wrong-headedness of the view that ‘exports = good, imports = bad’. — PolitiTweet.org

@RobertSyms Agree there’s always going to be some element of risk. But some early pilots where some restrictions are eased in a controlled way should help build up the evidence to enable the Govt then to go further & faster than it would otherwise do. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke
@dytham Many thanks. Test & trace is probably where we'll have to end up. But, in the interim, how can we use our testing capacity to discover which restrictions we can ease before we have the full test & trace capacity? — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
I spoke about we could take a cautious approach to easing the lockdown but still make progress towards the new normal in an interview with @bbcgmu this morning. /END https://t.co/luBDy6ha0b — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
If we're going to plot the route from 'lockdown' to the 'new normal', relatively small-scale trials and pilots, using extensive but targeted testing, would be the best way to build up the evidence base & improve public confidence in the safety of any phase 2 strategy. /7 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
Of course, targeted testing & easing of restrictions will be politically challenging. Some people will complain about not being in a pilot, others will complain that they are. But if we're to get the evidence we need to ease gradually the restrictions, we'll need to be bold. /6 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
You could use testing capacity to enable professional sport to operate behind closed doors. For example, you wouldn't need to test very many people in order to get the Premier League up & running. /5 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
We should use the newly increased testing capacity to trial and pilot limited & targeted relaxations. In some cases, that might be survey testing of sectors moving to the new normal. In other cases, we focus on a specific geographical area backed up with intensive testing. /4 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
I argued in yesterday's @EveningStandard that the Govt should use the weeks ahead to pursue an intelligent testing strategy that uses testing to support & assess the first steps to ease the lockdown. /3 https://t.co/lNUX1BHvbj — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
One option for the Govt is to maintain the lockdown, watch the infection rate fall and build up test & trace capacity. But this will take a while - with much further damage to living standards. Another option is to relax the lockdown but that risks the 2nd spike & 2nd lockdown./2 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
There are a lot of restrictions the Govt would like to ease but daren't in case it increases significantly the spread of the virus. We'll find out one day that some of restrictions were ineffective in reducing the spread, others were essential. But we don't yet know which ones./1 — PolitiTweet.org
