If you're going to quote that, you should add the directly relevant information from the other side:

* "But that death rate is lower than the average for the European Union as a whole (1,684), and well below those of France, Spain, Italy and the UK"

* Dr Bhatt concedes "it worked for Sweden"

* Dr Bhatt is "one of the team at Imperial College who pushed the UK's lockdown strategy"

That last detail is important. Of course he has to say it couldn't have worked in the UK. If he said anything else, that would become the story. What's remarkable is that someone in his position is conceding as much as he has.
