    Prof. Devi Sridhar Retweeted The Independent

    Such false logic: uncontrolled spread doesn’t mean ‘just some people die.’ It means health services collapsing bc of high COVID hospitalisation rate (so all patients suffer), lasting economic damage from people being scared & changing behaviour, & society going backwards.https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1321936046586777602 …

        But at least if you survive you'll still be able to buy an overpriced coffee and pastry 🙄- can't think who that would benefit

        Pret are only bothered about their business. I doubt many older people eat there so what does it matter if 10s of 1000s of them die.

        Please remember he's no longer involved with Pret, who have distanced themselves from him. The correct approach for these people is for them to volunteer for vaccine trials, and prove us wrong. As opposed to "man up and die".

        He's long gone from Pret. They're not responsible for his inane remarks.

        The people who die may be the people who those who remain rely on for employment, education, surgery, care, transport, nursing, policing, etc. Society is a chain; remove links, & it collapses.

        Why doesn't the founder of pret (& others agreeing) put their money and invest into the track & trace if they're so desperate for the economy to not be placed on hold? They could have been involved in setting up during the summer. They were told consequences of it not working..
