London – The UK will face an exponentially expanding mortality rate from the new coronavirus (COVID-19) in a matter of weeks, unless urgent action is taken to prevent a wave of expanding epidemics, the country’s most sensitive doctors said Monday.
The UK already has the official number of COVID-19 deaths in Europe, and the fifth in the world, as it borrows record amounts to verify and pump emergency cash to the broken economy.
But new instances of COVID-19 are expanding through at least 6,000 per day in Britain, according to one-week data, hospital admissions double every 8 days and the test formula deforms.
Chris Whitty, the government’s leading medical officer, and Patrick Vallance, their leading clinical adviser, warned that, if not limited, the epidemic would succeed in 50,000 new cases a day until mid-October in the UK.
“If you continued on the road . . . the number of deaths directly due to COVID . . . it will continue to increase, potentially on an exponential curve, which means doubling and doubling and can temporarily move from very small numbers to very giant numbers,” Whitty said.
“If we don’t do enough, the virus will take off and for now that’s the way we’re obviously doing and if we don’t replace the course we’re going to put ourselves in a very delicate problem. “
The virus spreads to all parts of the country and less than 8% of the population has antibodies to the virus; in London, about 17% of the population would possibly have antibodies, Vallance said.
Speed and action are urgently needed, Vallance and Whitty said, adding that as winter approaches, the COVID challenge would leave Britain for at least six months.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the new restrictions would be others of the last time. The government will take strong action against socialization, but schools and many workplaces will remain open.
“Great place to stay”
Medical chiefs in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have said that the 4 countries are transferred to the COVID-19 “Level 4” alert – an epidemic is in general circulation; transmission is maximum or increases exponentially.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the leaders of the three delegated countries that the accumulation of COVID-19 cases was a source of “great concern” and we decided to work with their administrations to combat the virus.
The Sun newspaper reported that Johnson would announce 10 p. m. Last time for pubs, bars and restaurants. Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon said additional restrictions would almost be imposed. (Reuters)
