Jeremy Vine panel clash over COVID-19 case spikes
During a heated discussion on Jeremy Vine on 5 about the spread of coronavirus and whether people can be trusted to behave responsibly as lockdown eases, panellists Mike Parry and Nina Myskow erupted into a furious argument. Mike Parry made a number of claims about how Covid spreads between people but Ms Myskow hit back branding his science knowledge as "minimal" and stressing he should not talk "of what you don't know".
Mike Parry claimed: “There was no spike at Cheltenham Racecourse, sixty thousand people there.
“There was no spike when people got together on the beaches."
Jeremy Vine interjected to question Mr Parry's comments: “I’m not sure about that!”
Mr Parry responded: “No, I am sure about that! There will be no spike there on the streets of Glasgow."

The former Daily Express News Editor then claimed there were "no spikes" of Covid after numerous large-scale events and gatherings "because it (Covid) goes up into the air! It goes up into the air!"
Nina Myskow furiously hit back: "It goes up into the air? For heaven's sake!
“Your grasp of science is really minimal!"
And in a brutal slapdown, Ms Myskow added: "And you should have no right to talk about science that you really have no knowledge of!”

But Mr Parry furiously replied: “Ok, you tell me about your science then Nina!”
The journalist went on to explain how the virus transmits from person to person adding it is "through the air, up the nose, through the mouth.
“A load of people standing close together, shouting and screaming, if it goes into your eyes you catch it.”
He continued to claim there have been no spikes adding “so why have there been no spikes after it!”
