[Comment] Offline: Independent science advice for COVID-19–at last
Richard Horton | thelancet.com | 2020-05-09
"Is the government's objective to suppress infection or to manage the infection?", asked Sir David King at the first press conference of a newly formed independent Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), held last week. The UK now has two SAGEs. The officially constituted SAGE has seen its reputation collapse during the past 3 months. Partly, this loss of credibility arose out of the group's unwillingness to be transparent about its membership and its proceedings. At a moment of national emergency, SAGE's secrecy simply became unacceptable.
