The Possibility of Another Lockdown in the UK

Britain’s chief scientific adviser today warned that there could be 50,000 new cases per day by mid-October if action isn't taken. Under fire for his response to the virus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is considering another, smaller lockdown to try to interrupt transmission. Sir Jeremy Farrar is part of the panel that advises the UK government on the pandemic. He joins the program from Oxford.
