Sajid Javid warns there COULD be another lockdown in winter

Daily Mail  

Professor Andrew Hayward, an epidemiologist on SAGE, said 'we have to live with hospitalisations' from Covid Britain must learn to 'live with hospitalisations' from Covid and stop obsessing over the daily numbers, one of the Government's scientific advisers said today. Hospital admissions were the key focus in Boris Johnson's winter Covid plan announcement last night, warning that lockdown curbs could be rolled back if they soar. SAGE'S LATEST GLOOMY MODELS: In an absolute worst-case scenario, which would see the reprotection 'R' rate soar to 2, there could be even more than 8,000 daily hospital admissions by the middle of October. Even in SAGE's best-case scenario, this is set to double by next month Pressures on A&E and increasing hospital admissions could trigger the Government's Plan B for tackling Covid, according to the winter plan. SAGE's most optimistic scenario still forecasts about 2,000 daily hospital admissions this winter — double the amount occurring now — which it warned could lead to a 'difficult few months' for the NHS.
