1. Erik Millstone of Sussex University:

   The public needs clear nutritional advice on how to eat to enhance their immune responses in the pandemic and people need to have the financial resources to obtain those foods, poor diet and poor health has undoubtedly contributed to the UK’s appalling COVID death rate, particularly among families on low incomes.

2. Gordon Merry:

   We were able to cut our death rate from 35 people last year to 25 this year, at this time, we attribute that to a lot that we are doing, such as giving Narcan to the police and fire departments and the Department of Health started a needle exchange program that brings people into clinics where they can also receive additional help.

3. Otis Brawley:

   We need to also focus on the fact that there are some good screening tests that actually clearly save lives, that we are not using enough, i would point out that 55% to 60% of Americans over the age of 50 are up do date on colorectal cancer screening. We could save a lot of lives if we could just get to 80% by 2018. We could help to decrease the cancer death rate that way. I would point out that there is no debate that mammography saves lives -- and if you look at women over the age of 45, about a third to 40% are not up to date on mammography. Many have never actually even had a mammogram, and we need to work on that.

4. Ira Longini:

It protects you against illness if you're vaccinated before you're infected, there's no effective treatment against Ebola. It has about a 50% death rate for those who become ill, so there's very little we can do except vaccinate, and so the vaccine is very important.

5. Lothar Wieler:

   We do not yet know what the death rate will look like in the end.
