It’s the Karl Marx and Ayn Rand of lockdown scientists! Professor Neil Ferguson from Imperial College London and Professor Johan Giesecke from…Sweden.

Ferguson’s cautious forecasts scared the UK government into a regime of strict social distancing, while Giesecke’s calm attitude and talk of ‘herd immunity’ has influenced Sweden’s anti-lockdown policy. Ferguson says stay home and save lives, Giesecke says go out because people will die either way. So which one is right? Polly Boiko takes a look.
