Scotland has passed its coronavirus peak and should get its economy up and running before a second wave in winter, according to scientists.
Professor Carl Heneghan and Jason Oke, of Oxford University’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, have analysed data that appears to show Covid-19 is over its worst north of the Border.Their analysis of the data is that it follows a trajectory from a community peak on March 23, admissions to hospital beds on March 31, ambulance transfers on April 6, deaths on April 9 and ICU admissions being at their highest on April 12.Prof Heneghan has now called for the Scottish Government to begin opening up the economy as soon as possible to help fight a second wave in winter as he believes the virus is seasonal.Th
