Donald Trump: UK’s initial strategy before lockdown was ‘catastrophic’
The UK’s Telegraph reported on US President Donald Trump, who spoke about Britain’s disastrous “herd immunity” initial approach to the Covid-19 crisis which is now engulfing Britain and America alike.
US President Donald Trump claims the British government’s initial strategy would have been ‘very catastrophic’.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Donald Trump explains that the UK, ‘were very much looking at it. And all of a sudden they went hard the other way because they started seeing things that weren’t good.’
Although, he does not mention the strategy, Mr Trump may have been speaking about the original plan to build a ‘herd immunity’ suggested by Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser, before imposing a national lockdown.
