Dear @BallouxFrancois, @SunetraGupta provided many specific immediately implementable public health measures to protect older high-risk people. Unfortunately, they were not implemented in the UK, as the government thought inefficient lockdowns would work. https://www.newsweek.com/we-should-focus-protecting-vulnerable-covid-infection-opinion-1543225 …https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1419431092881350656 …

Her expertise is in theoretical epidemiology and modelling. As such, I find it unfair for her to be criticised for not providing detailed, immediately implementable, public health measures from the top of her head. 2/

  One of the examples is very similar (below). All in all, I think you’re making a similar point re. invalid criticism.https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1419431094311694340 …

  It might have been possible to implement more targeted strategies towards protecting the most vulnerable. To give just one example I worked on briefly, the UK gov could have tried to take advantage of unused hotel rooms to shelter the more vulnerable during the winter wave. 3/
