Chris Whitty on the challenge of winter, lockdown, and following the science

Chris Whitty probably needs no introduction to our UK audience - he's the chief medical advisor to the UK government, has played a pivotal role in shaping the country's response to Covid-19. He rarely does interviews - so in this conversation we wanted to ask him the questions that matter to clinicians, about how the pandemic will impact them over the winter. This was recorded yesterday, just before the announcement of the strict lockdowns in France and Germany. For more covid-19 coverage www.bmj.com/coronavirus
