six further deaths are recorded and experts warn the epidemic is now doubling every WEEK
Of course but with schools open again and what not it probably isn't going to make THAT much difference. And I'm not saying schools shouldn't be open.It was always going to happen once people started to think that the worst was over. All these little social distancing indescretions, those visits to other people's house etc have added to those who simply didn't bother anyway.
It's really simple, keep your distance, wash your hands, wear a mask properly and do your bit, however much you hate it because if we don't then it'll be back to full-on lockdowns again.
People did say similar 4 weeks ago, and deaths aren't rising in line with cases as they did in March.It’s a a like for like comparison as the parameters of testing are different.
That doesn't mean we should not be worried. We should be worried as hospital admissions are rising and that means these cases will see even more go hospital.
i would expect to see us operating at 50 deaths a day again with 4 weeks of this isn’t curbed
It has been lapsing for ages now, supermarkets are back to virtually normal, I noticed even the match tonight, the teams were stood next to each other in the same tunnel chatting, when before they had to come out from different entrances....It was always going to happen once people started to think that the worst was over. All these little social distancing indescretions, those visits to other people's house etc have added to those who simply didn't bother anyway.

To be honest it was always going to happen full stop. We are just going to have to learn to live with it. It isn't feasible to live in the way we have been. And as we don't have a vaccine the virus will come back.
We are now at the start of the second wave. It was likely because people naturally let their guard down when it looks like the virus is reducing, but 85% of the UK population still have not had the virus, so don't have immunity. The virus is highly contagious amongst adults.
We haven't reached herd immunity yet so when lockdown is lifted there will be more cases.
I hate to break it to you but I'm not pinning my hopes on there being a vaccine. Not sure why you got that idea.
Apologies, all I hear at the moment is people talking as if the only way forward is a vaccine when we may well not get an effective vaccine.
We may be much nearer her immunity than we first thought, but we don't know. We need further studies to figure out how widespread the t-cell immunity / cross reactivity is within the general population. There are enough in vivo studies demonstrating that other immune responses are at play so numbers of the population infected based on antibody response is certainly an underestimate, but we don't know by how much.
Check out the video smog chorus posted. Interesting points, some I find have merit, some I think are a bit spurious. Michael Levitt's comments (on Twitter) on Sweden's deaths with / deaths of I find particularly misleading.
It’s not if the first time you get it you’re in bed for a week and the second time you don’t even know you’ve had it.You can be infected again (if mutated) so to be honest herd immunity is pie in the sky

No, and I’m no virologist, but my understanding is that with most viruses you can expect a diminished dose second time around.there’s no evidence to that is what will happen 2nd round
