Never heard of this chap but he gets my UK (despite having a German sounding name) "the voice of reason" award:
A clear understanding of immunity is needed, before lockdown measures can be removed, warns professor
Danny Altmann, Professor of Immunology at Imperial College London, has told the Commons Science and Technology Committee he would be "terribly worried" about lifting lockdown measures with no or limited knowledge of the population's immunity against coronavirus.
He said: "As an immunologist and knowing how desperately lethal this virus can be, I'd be very worried about any assumptions on those grounds - terribly worried."
"Without really good antibody testing and seroprevalence in the population, we're flying blind."
"We haven't got a clue who's had it, how many have had it, where they've had it, or where we stand for the future for second waves, so I can't emphasise sufficiently how desperately we need that data and how widely we need that data."
