Good Morning Britain 's Dr Hilary Jones told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid members of the public are six times more likely to die if they contract both COVID-19 and seasonal flu.
So he recommended anyone who was eligible for a free flu jab should go ahead and book it as the government has expanded the scope of people who are eligible.
In a heated discussion with Piers and Susanna, Hilary defended the scientific advisers' broadcast on Monday which said if the country carries on at the rate it is going at, we will see 50,000 COVID-19 cases by mid-October.
Piers and Susanna slammed the government's guidelines questioning the sense in closing pubs at 10pm as Piers argued people would simply go back to each other's houses.
