This Morning published this video item, entitled “Professor Says “Scrap The Rule Of Six” | This Morning” – below is their description.
As of today, it is against the law to meet people you don’t live with in groups larger than six. Prime Minister Boris Johnson claims this is necessary to prevent a second wave of Coronavirus, but Professor Carl Heneghan doesn’t agree. He joins us today to tell us why he believes the new rule has no scientific backing, as he implores the government to scrap it. Broadcast on 14/09/20

Prof Heneghan is, by his own definition, using only evidence of the success of past measures as his basis for his assertions. He is not modelling the future potential of the virus; it should also be noted that his opinion is at odds with many of his colleagues, on this subject, including other Professors at Oxford University, such as epidemiologist, Professor David Hunter. Indeed, the UK Government’s own SAGE committee, said the country was “on the edge of losing control” as recently as last week.
