Second lockdown awaits UK as coronavirus cases and deaths could surge by November

Professor Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance, two top medics in the United Kingdom have warned that the country could see a dramatic surge in coronavirus by November. In a televised speech, the duo revealed that the condition in the United Kingdom is very critical, and could witness at least 50,000 positive cases and 200 deaths in a day.

Experts also revealed that coronavirus pandemic in the country could last for six months, and the only way to combat this drastic spread by implementing another nationwide lockdown.

“In every age group, we have seen an increase. It is now estimated that roughly 70,000 people in the UK have COVID infection and that about 6,000 people per day are getting the infection. If that continues unabated and this grows doubling every seven days then what you see, is by mid-October we would end up with something like 50,000 cases per day,” said Vallance.

Whitty revealed that there is currently no evidence which substantiates that the coronavirus is any milder than it was in April. According to Whitty, there could be unbelievable ramifications if the country fails to control the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Whitty, sudden rise in coronavirus cases in the country could completely fill NHS hospitals in the country, which will result in ultimate chaos. The nation will also witness increased deaths from other illnesses due to the huge waiting time needed to treat people with coronavirus infection.
