He's the guy who a week or two ago was saying everything could have been prevented..
Apparently was on question time last night saying:
"'Honestly, I'm sorry to say this, but it's a national scandal. We shouldn't be in this position. We knew in the last week of January that this was coming. The message from China was absolutely clear that a new virus with pandemic potential was hitting cities, people were being admitted to hospital, admitted to intensive care units and dying."
His tweet 24 of January was:
"A call for caution please. Media are escalating anxiety by talking of a “killer virus” + “growing fears”. In truth, from what we currently know, 2019-nCoV has moderate transmissibility and relatively low pathogenicity. There is no reason to foster panic with exaggerated language."

If even a fraction of the things said about him in the comments there are true he's an aggressively biased *rsehole using this affair as a stick to beat his own political drum..

Actually no Angoose, it's the guy who I think you've quoted as the Messiah, I think in a thread where I pointed out the 20/20 hindsight of some people.
I had no idea at the time he was the guy who posted that. And was also apparently supportive of the idiot[s] saying vaccines are bad m'k.

I'm not saying all of his research is bad but more I know about it more I know he's an activist with an axe to grind and don't trust his common sense.

I'm surprised that QT had such a biased activist as a panellist.
Unlike the likes of Izzard, Reader, Jones and of course the hysterically funny Nish.

Don't get me wrong I respect doctors but I've known enough of them to not hold them in a sort of reverence, and now I read about this guy he got his degree then pretty soon dropped it and became an opinionated journalist.

To put it in context .. Probably about the same medical experience as Harry Hill.

Except of course Harry Hill is as Funny AF!!! :)
I think CC has had a few threads about funny comedians, I forgot about him on them.
I was watching a few of his TV burps a few weeks ago and literally LOLing frequently, there's something genius about him.
Nish is as unfunny and predictable as a Guardian article about Trump...

You seen the so called commedienne Janey Godley? Another biased lefty and as funny as Nish.

Not IRL but know who she is... Not a funny person.
But she can slag off Trump, so that's 90% of being a BBC approved comedian.
I'd imagine if the could tick a diversity box she'd have her own BBC Scotland show?
