Head of the U.K. Health Security Agency, Dame Jenny Harries, in an interview with Paul Nuki for the Telegraph, suggests that the U.K. will adopt a more ‘Swedish’ approach to social distancing for future pandemics. Here’s an excerpt:

Dame Jenny Harries does not shake my hand as I’m ushered into her office and I wonder momentarily if this interview is going to be more difficult than anticipated.

“I’m just going to be very open,” she says in a way that only a doctor can. “The reason I haven’t shaken hands with you is, I’m just slightly under the weather. Not respiratory-wise – in other ways. I think I’ll be fine. But I’m just not not quite as buzzy as I usually am.”
