Coronavirus: plan to ease lockdown as UK "past peak" of pandemic - BBC News

Boris Johnson has declared that the UK is past the peak of the coronavirus outbreak, and said that he will set out a comprehensive plan for gradually lifting the lockdown.
But his announcement came with a warning, that the country mustn't lose control and "risk a second spike" of the virus.
It was the first time the Prime Minister led the daily briefing since himself becoming ill with Covid-19. Among measures being considered to restart the economy are the reopening of schools and public transport.

The information about the properties of COVID-19 and its infection and death figures have been so inconsistent, contradictory and sometimes nonsensical that I think many people have chosen exactly that attitude, _"better to be safe than sorry"._ Few of us are virologists.

Children can't pass the virus onto adults, this is accepted now.

Jeremy Fielding I’m not sure if that has been scientifically confirmed or not. However, schools do not operate without adults. Adults can pass on the virus to children, who then in turn can pass it on to anyone else they come into contact with. Opening schools back up is far more difficult to do safely than with just a politician sound bite.

Make sure your family takes vitamin C, Selenium and silver, gets exercise and sunlight, a balanced diet, good sleep and minimises stress. That's all you need. Masks, according to a virologist, actually increase the chances of incubating a virus. This video is part 6 of a multi-part Doctors' roundtable discussion on COVID-19. ER, Trauma and ICU doctors are reporting that patients reported having COVID-19 are not suffering viral issues, but rapidly deteriorating hypoxia, a type of altitude sickness. This is shown in a change of haemoglobin status, namely disassociation of the iron from the haemoglobin, a disruption on a cellular level which doctors do not currently understand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6elq4CvjLaogrM

More like going down a ramp meaning rhat it will take ages to get to the bottom of the hill. In no way can we suddenly lift the lockdown right now and ease all restrictions and see everything returning as normal on Monday morning. We have to be prepared to be extremely patient and be very cautious right now. Johnson delayed lockdown and implemented social distancing ridiculously late. And now in last Thursday's briefing Johnson jumped rhe gun suggesting that we've got it more under control than we really have. Introducing the lockdown and putting in restrictions far too late meant that the R rate of transmission here in the UK was not going to fall anywhere near as quickly as other countries who locked down sooner and applied it far more strictly than the UK. That means we will remain in lockdown with social distancing in place here for a lot longer than all these other countries have.
