Yes, for the purpose of this discussion Peter Piot is part of our pool of UK experts. My wife isn't British either and has no interest in defending British institutionalism and definitely not this goverment but she's seeing the work that's being done to fight this virus and I've mistakenly introduced her to a world of know-it-all-pricks.
¡apesta!
@Petteri
I´d just like to add that it is usually the officials and politicans that make noises like "our pool of experts is the bestest" while the experts themselves just get on with the job and talk to other experts, wherever they may be. Finnish ones (officials, that is) are notorious for this. Here in Flanders I´ve read that the microbiology cluster here is the best in the world. Peter Piot, a Fleming, he of Ebola and HIV fame, was mentioned upthread, although I suppose nowadays he´d be counted as a member of that British pool as the good baron (yes that´s right bitches) works for the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
