LONDON, March 27 — The world faces “a severe and acute” emergency due to the pandemic caused by the coronavirus and national responses in the coming weeks will be critical to the trajectory of their epidemics, a leading group of scientists said yesterday. But if mitigation strategies are implemented that are able to shield the elderly via a 60 per cent reduction in social contacts, and slow but not interrupt transmission of the disease with a 40 per cent reduction in social contacts for the wider population, that disease burden could be cut in half, saving 20 million lives.
Ferguson's 10th study, published earlier this month, was seen as a key influencing factor on moves governments in Britain and Europe took to increase social distancing measures and tighten lockdowns in an effort to slow the expansion of the pandemic.
