Summary

Our 200th edition. Everyone wants to go home and visit their folks for Christmas, right? And the Government is fine with it… right? Christina Pagel of Independent SAGE and UCL’s Clinical Operational Research Unit tells Ian Dunt why packing yourself into unventilated homes with aged relatives, school kids and students might not be a very good idea. What are the best ways to have a safer Christmas? How dangerous is public transport? And what’s worse, hurting your family’s feelings – or damaging their health? “People are pretty clear about what they OUGHT to do. What they WILL do is another matter. “It’s really hard to think of home as a dangerous place.” “The idea that I might give my parents COVID month before they could get vaccinated? I don’t know if I could live with that.” “We’re all good at social distancing from strangers. But when you’re out with your mum, it’s a different matter.” “What are the worst things you can do at Christmas? Singing and shouting.” Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofrenijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.
