A UEA expert has said calls from a group of scientists and academics to end coronavirus restrictions are wrong and their public appeal is “not the best way forward”.
In an open letter, the scientists said a good society cannot be created by obsessive focus on a single cause of ill-health and that Covid-19 no longer requires exceptional measures of control in everyday life .
The 22 signatories - who include Professor Carl Heneghan, director of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at University of Oxford, and Professor Karol Sikora from the medicine school at the University of Buckingham - say mandatory face coverings, physical distancing and mass community testing should end no later than June 21.
But the company said it broke off talks with Brussels chiefs in frustration at red tape .

UNDER 50s URGED TO GET VACCINE
People aged 50 and under are being urged to get their Covid-19 vaccine so the UK can continue on the path back to normality .
The push for people to take up jab offers comes as restrictions ease in Wales and Scotland, and as Britain sends more than 600 pieces of urgently-needed medical equipment to India following a devastating surge in coronavirus cases.
Professor Carl Heneghan, Director of The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (CEBM) at Oxford University, joined talkRADIO host Julia Hartley-Brewer’s breakfast show earlier today.
Prof. Heneghan said there’s still “no evidence” to reduce the uncertainty of whether masking kids in schools works or not, adding:
“In the absence of evidence, if you think they should be wearing them, go and talk to some children. That’s what I’ve done. And said: ‘What’s the reality on the ground? What’s it like for you in class? How does it feel?’ And I can tell you, they hate them. They find it really difficult.”
