.@martinmckee made an excellent point at yesterday's @IndependentSage. There are 3 things we must gather: 1. A list of information we need 2. A clear idea of the disease & how to treat it 3. A systems diagram on everything we need for testing and tracing https://t.co/4bhWO9mSx8 — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
A lockdown of over 70s is a classic example of an unnecessary restriction. Data from New York City shows that across all age groups - especially in the elderly - the vast majority of deaths occur in people with underlying conditions. That is where the strategy should focus. https://t.co/foarL868by — PolitiTweet.org

The Government should publish the accurate data before they decide on the policy. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Last week I asked government to provide statistics on the comparative risk coronavirus poses to healthy people, separated by age, gender and ethnicity. I received a holding reply saying they can't yet provide that information - https://t.co/T31vxjIl8W — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
If the government is contemplating easing the lockdown restrictions for everyone but over 70s, then they seem to be doing this before having the data to properly inform the policy. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The Government should not be waiting for coronavirus case numbers to drop to 100,000 before starting the track and trace programme. It must start right away and recruit an army of volunteers to help carry it out. https://t.co/7TPt04CtA5 — PolitiTweet.org

So long as we have the manufacturing capacity, this would allow a greater and faster relaxation of the lockdown than would otherwise be possible. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The point of all this techie stuff is that the sheer size of the effort and previous partial successes with SARs and MERs mean that there is reason to be optimistic about a suite of treatments becoming available through this year. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Although unsurprisingly even the opinions of the specialist medics differ. I have undoubtedly left out some important ones. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Judging the runners and riders is way beyond my skill set, but specialist medics seem to think ones to watch are remdesivir (obviously), recombinant ACE2, angiotensin receptor blockers, ivermectin, favipravir, umifenovir. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
At the moment there are at least 300 clinical trials going on of various possible treatments and combinations of treatments. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
There will be global demand for a great deal more. Nation states are likely to favour their own citizens first. Question is, should our government facilitate UK manufacture? — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The next big issue will be availability. @GileadSciences are stepping up production to be able to treat 140,000 by end May, 500,000 by October. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Great news on remdesivir. Although it is described by some as having marginal effect, in the theoretical case of having been universally available from the beginning in the UK, it could have saved up to 7000 lives. So an important, if not total, answer — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Countries including Norway, Austria, Finland, and Germany have a coronavirus death rate one third that of the UK. We must quickly establish how they have managed to keep deaths down and adapt the strategy to our own use as fast as possible. https://t.co/T0EgUePeEW — PolitiTweet.org

...The potential impact of the rules on the wider labour market, particularly the gig economy, has been overlooked by the government. It must devote time to analysing all of this. A wholesale reform of IR35 is required.” — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The Government must pay attention to Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, chair of the @LordsEconCom, who has said: “Our inquiry found these rules to be riddled with problems, unfairnesses, and unintended consequences... — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
It is a pity that the Government is pushing ahead with the IR35 reforms. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
This can leave the bank directors and managers with complex and unpredictable prudential risks, which has made them hyper cautious. We need to cut through this. — PolitiTweet.org

Part of the problem with the U.K. system is it's complexity — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
The Germans and Americans are also tough minded, but have gone for 100% support. We need to do the same to make this work. So far the take up is only about 1% — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
However I still think we should underwrite 100% of business interruption loans. The Swiss did this, and they are not known for being profligate. As a result they had 76,000 loans made in 8 days, normally on the basis of an A4 application form. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Excellent news from @RishiSunak that the Government will introduce a micro-loan scheme to support small businesses through the crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Please to hear @RishiSunak say we need our businesses back up and running. As I said in The Daily Mail at the weekend, if we do not get a plan in place soon, it will have a devastating impact on businesses, jobs and lives. https://t.co/nnSc1cxDIz — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Great to see Boris back on his feet and firing on all cylinders. I hope his commitment to transparency means we will see the minutes, recommendations & dissenting opinions of SAGE published soon, so we can properly debate when - and as importantly - precisely how we exit lockdown — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Countries around the world have attacked this virus in a completely different way to us, with spectacularly different results. We now have only a few short weeks to learn from them and put a plan in place to ease the lockdown. https://t.co/nnSc1cg2R1 — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
We do this for the monetary policy committee, how is it not right to do so for the much more important scientific advisory committee? — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
We should publish the membership of SAGE: remove any non-scientist members: publish their advice in full: and publish dissenting opinions with the advice. — PolitiTweet.org
David Davis @DavidDavisMP
Transparency matters enormously in handling the Covid19 crisis, both for public confidence and for quality of public decision making. — PolitiTweet.org
