No more lockdowns – Britain will treat Covid like flu, says Chris Whitty
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/04/01/no-lockdowns-britain-will-treat-coronavirus-like-flu-says/
This looks like a real turning point now. The money tree is bare and now with the vaccines its time to live with it one what may.
I know people who have been so damaged by the last 12 months that hiding behind the sofa would be a fair assessment. People in that position will need encouragement to get out and start living again.

Kinda an inevitable conclusion, there seems to be no way to eradicate covid and theres no way we can continue with a policy of Lockdown as the effects would be too damaging in the long run. |

I think the huge collateral damaged that lockdowns caused (as the full data pours out in the next year or 2) will be studied for generations.

The plan in the UK was never to eradicate it, unlike in other countries, so this is just the longer term option, once it's even more successfully suppressed than now.
As much of the world hasn't started to get any vaccines yet, it will be moving around, probably producing variants for a long time.
It would help us if a greater proportion here had the vaccine, so that we suppress it as fully as possible in the shortest time frame. It will be cheaper and sensible to have the combined flu and covid jab each year, hoping that's sufficient to give protection against variants |

It should also be viewed that approx 130,000 also lost their lives and that was with lockdown. Hate to think of the number of deaths without lockdown. Not sure the lockdowns during the Spanish flu outbreak are seen in a negative way |

The lockdown in Manchester in 1918 wasn't well regarded at the time (apart from in Manchester) but is retrospectively praised. |

I'm not saying we shouldn't have lockdown far from it.
What I do know is the data that will come through will be devasting for lockdowns and a generation educationally, emtionally will be badly effected. The cost to Mental Health horrific and so on.
I work for a local authority and we are starting to see some of this data for our area and is very saddening.
On the flipside without the lockdowns yes many more would likely have died of that there is no doubt.
Faster, harder but shorter lockdowns may have saved many more again with less collateral damage.
In my circle there are people who are ready to shout for lockdown 4 as soon as there's a wobble in the stats.
It seems finally Chris Whitty accepts that leading a proper and full life is worth a certain level of deaths akin to flu seasons which makes sense to me but won't to some I know.

Very reasoned approach. As you say (and are in a position to know) consequences of lockdown can be assessed and for any new pandemics in the future the right course of action can be taken on these experiences. Obviously it will depend on the virus. An airborne one that is fatal to all ages would absolutely require lockdowns. |

This has been coming for a while, Its the numbers game of people's lives, how many dead will society accept as reasonable risk, an awful thing to consider 
As they say we accept the deaths with flu numbers, but deaths with covid-19 is going to be 3/4 times higher because of the variety of complications it presents |

Echoes of what Witty was saying this time last year.. that there was no need to close borders. Put a chill up my spine.
But on the whole i agree with what he says. The show must go on and people will police their own health risk but being a dick to your fellow man should be punished.
There does need to be a united nations agreed policy going forward tho

While that is true treatments are improving all the time and this will have a knock on ben6for flu treatment too so may well lead to less people dying of flu in the future. |

Is this really news? It was always going to be the case. He's not given any clues as to when. It's just words for the sake of words. That was always the ambition in the first place. We seem to have a level of arrogance now towards this, many believing the war is won. We have half the eligible population with one jab of a vaccine that requires 2. We have a 10th of the population having had both jabs of a vaccine that we don't know how long it will protect people for. It's progress but further to go.
We live next door to 400 million people who have barely started yet. And have international freight and passenger links with places in the world that have not started yet.
So we are in a better place, but if people think treating this like a flu.. Eventually yes, but not yet and not until we can manage who is entering our country from where better.
But yes agreed the sun will rise tomorrow and we will eventually treat this virus as another that we live with like a flu.
What I'm more interested in, are the difficult questions, like what are we prepared to do to prevent the next one. Which may not be as mild. |

I'd also like to see what can be done to manage the accurate and effective flow of important and relevant information. That saves lives and also can help make people's lives better... Or conversely worse when beset with the agenda driven and inaccurate tidal wave of misinformation... Which distracts people from what really needs to happen. And in some cases damages or costs lives.
The mysterious "they" have never been found. |

One of Israel's medical officers was on Newsnight last night stating that Israel is now opening up. Yes they still have cases however they are not seeing severe cases. The vaccine appears to have done it's job of breaking the link between cases and hospitalisations. |

"Sounds plausible. However, it would be interesting to see hospital admissions during a bad flu season compared to COVID. I guess the latter is far greater. "
Average year deaths due to flu and other respiratory disease is between 7 & 8 thousands, a really bad flu year up to 25,000 deaths recorded. Covid has 130,000 deaths in UK this year. Doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that Covid is responsible for the most hospital admissions.. |

It is worth remembering that "Chris whitty" does not make decisions, he just advises the government. There have been many "statements" made by many "experts" about what the picture will be moving forward, but until the Government decides on the direction that THEY will go and manage to pass the appropriate legislation, it is all speculation.

yes but those are pre vaccine levels , it is expected to reduce considerably going forward once the vaccination programme completes |

Yes. Plus any number of variables will alter the situation and what the government do. Nothing is fixed. |

i maybe have misread tone here but seems like you are criticising your peers for advocating a fast lockdown, directly after conceding faster lockdowns would probably have worked better
and that really is the crux of the issue , there was no perfect solution that was going to keep the entire population happy , no matter what approach we took there would be folk saying we got it wrong a different way was better, we can’t even straighten out thoughts that dont conflict in our own minds most of the time because it really just is that complex an issue where all we could hope for was least worst |

But critising just as you say its such a multi faceted issue.
Faster yes but for me that applies when driven by the science and the figures many many times our government delayed when it was obvious what was needed.
Harder lockdowns is that even possible in a western UK society?? It's a complex question. They certainly worked in other parts of the world. However many already cry that our freedoms have gone making comparisons to Nazi Europe so god knows what would happen if we had full lockdowns seen elsewhere.
Its all about perspective as well I was speaking to a friend this morning who thinks the roadmap is insane and that we should stay in full lockdown until infections reach the single digits seen in places like Australia. Then again Lockdown has been incredibly good to him. Permanent contract not under threat, 40k plus a year and working reduced hours from his home that's allowed him to spent far more time with hid kids and his words " This last year has been great. I have never been able to save such money in all my life!" So as I said perspective he is dreading the work from home order to officially end completely and having to return to the normal commute and 5 full days at the office.
Everybody's circumstances are different, how lockdown has effected them will shape in part their views on how the pandemic should be dealt with.
For many lockdown has come at incredible personal cost. They are utterly desperate for 21st June to roll around and are hanging on by their finger tips until them.
Rhisshi knows that a large part of middle England has built up huge savings wealth during this last 12 months. At my work we have seen some of the proposals from central goverment (similar to eat out to help out) that are in the planning stage to try and get that stored savings wealth injected into the economy.

"I agree with him, it had to happen anyway cos as well, peoples livelihoods are at risk, which isnt good for the economy, it should be business as usual  "
Chris Whitty is now saying that the normal 10,000 annual deaths (previously from flu pre covid) is a reasonable price to pay for a full and normal life. Even the bad years where 25,000 died in 2018 nobody even noticed life just went on.
10,000 = just over 27 deaths every single day for year.
25,000 = just over 68 deaths every single day of the year.
If we count historical flu deaths in the daily manner everyone is now familiar with due to covid.
Since Covid there has been next to no flu deaths, this maybe due to lockdown measures, social distancing, been coun covid moving into that demographic its an area been looked into.
Below UK daily covid death data
03/04/21 = 10 deaths
02/04/21 = 52 deaths
01/04/21 = 51 deaths
31/03/21 = 47 deaths
30/03/21 = 55 deaths
29/03/21 = 23 deaths
28/03/21 = 19 deaths
Thats a 7 day average of just under 37 deaths per day average.
What that says to me is the levels we are at right now, if they stay stable when we open up are the acceptable benchmark to allow for a normal and full life that Chris Whitty has been talking about.

except statistics cant be spread quite so evenly as that , flu deaths don’t happen at a rate of 27 per day they happen much closer to a rate of near zero for6 months of the year and 54 per day in the winter (averages obviously)
we would currently be going into the nearer zero per day phase of the year and yet still have higher than acceptable numbers despite having significant restrictions still in place
its like the way they smooth out your energy direct debit but expect you to use pretty much nothing in heating spring and summer which evens out your high level of use in the winter ... if we keep current levels stable for summer we are in for a pretty big bill come winter time

You make a very good point and I agree.
We have to hope a fully vaccinated UK with potential boosters if needed mitigates the winter season of 2021. I think that's what the government is hoping for.
"I agree that there has to, ultimately, be an acceptable cost of Covid, but, like above, think the current cost is too high."
I personally agree but I believe based on what's coming out of goverment and what I am privy to in my Job that the goverment now sees an annual covid death rate of 10-20 thousand people as an acceptable range after vaccines, if it means a fully open UK.
I believe the NHS in the next few years will be set up to cope with this as the normal. Pre covid parts of the NHS were under immense pressure during some of the worst flu years and whilst it was reported it wasn't really pushed as main news at the time.
The goverment knows going forward we need an NHS that can cope with the equivalent of a bad flu year every year from now on. They will ensure this regardless of the cost to ensure that the wheels of commerce can continue to turn unabated in the future.

I really don’t know why he said that as there are too many unknowns/ variables still in play such to determine whether the country will develop herd immunity or not.
I can definitely see local lockdowns happening in areas where vaccine uptake is poor. |

"Sounds plausible. However, it would be interesting to see hospital admissions during a bad flu season compared to COVID. I guess the latter is far greater.
Average year deaths due to flu and other respiratory disease is between 7 & 8 thousands, a really bad flu year up to 25,000 deaths recorded. Covid has 130,000 deaths in UK this year. Doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that Covid is responsible for the most hospital admissions..
Worth remembering many died of complications already had many had covid as death due to being tested within 28 days no true figures of deaths only by covid been released"
The ONS have more detailed figures re Covid deaths |

People keep mentioning herd immunity
How can we achieve that if we are not allowed to mix with others
Continue with the vaccinations and let's open up
We never had a lockdown anyways it was all half cocked
Biggest industry stayed open construction and manufacturing
Many construction workers move from site to site monthly or before as they travel to where the work is
Many manufacturers haven't been able to adhere to 2 metre rules due to job nature
Supermarkets remained open instead of online shopping only
Not really a lock down was it |

Yeah but if anyone tested positive and died within 28 days from a pre existing condition such as heart failure cancer it still was attached to covid figures |

They have other figures, not just the 28 day figure. Where Covid is a causal factor in death, both before and after the 28 day cut off. |

I would argue that if they had kept their distance they could still do their job?
And if they couldn't then they should have taken their government furlough or SE support and not carried on working maybe?
Had some here last week fitting loft stuff a few doors down.. Self employed getting a grant and carrying on working.. Takes the mick frankly |

That's impossible to distinguish. But we can distinguish "died of Covid" rather than "died with a recent diagnosis".
It's also a crap question. I have an autoimmune disease. My relatives with the same autoimmune disease have lived into their 90s. If I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, is it less important because I have an underlying health condition? |

Not all manufacturing jobs can be done with social distancing in place as with some construction jobs try fitting a window frame into an upstairs without someone holding it while it's screwed into place glazing goes in after
As for furlough you couldn't just take it if your company was deemed safe to continue working |

Herd immunity will only be achieved by vaccination. Natural infections will never get anywhere near to the level of herd immunity. |

We don't, that's not how any of this works. Herd immunity is infectiousness of disease combined with the number of people who are able to get sick from it. So we already have a good idea, and we're not there yet. |

Strange how Israel are the ones producing all our figures regarding vaccination stats
Number one country in vaccinations even better than us
Fully opened up now and only had a total of 5000 deaths in total
This is from a country 10x smaller than UK with 10,000,000 people in built up cities

Yet we receive 120000 death toll from covid so if other deaths from cancer heart disease are in those figures then remove them it's simple really

Most of vaccine info is coming from Israel they are ones who issued it to 90% of there population first and they are the ones feeding the reports to other countries

And what difference is it going to make knowing this?
I've said this over and over on this virus section for those willing to listen if it suits their agenda.
Think of covid as a bullet.
A person gets shot and later dies from multiple organ failure as a result of the catastrophic injuries caused by the bullet.
Now they died from organ failure,but as a result of the bullet.
Think of many of the covid deaths in the same way.
Ok so when they sadly died It maybe due to pneumonia or something equally as terrible.
But it's as a result of covid,it was the catalyst for the person's sad death.
So whilst they may not have had covid at time of death chances are that covid was the start and ultimately the result of the death. |

No number is OK 1 death is too many I'd just like a true fact of how many died of covid alone not with relation to other issues
Not hardto ask for
I'll give you an example
My mother's neighbour has been on a heart transplant list for 18mths he was told that if a donner wasn't found soon it would be too late 6 mths ago he contracted covid and recovered at home but he died less than a month later from heart failure his death was still added to the covid stats
Is that right to do so |

No it's not. We don't always know if underlying conditions were the cause, a cause, or were not a cause.
I had a relative die of a heart attack. Seized up, history of heart attacks, quite obvious really. But he also had diabetes. Should we not count that as a heart attack because it could have been diabetes?
If you want clearer information, look for the ONS data on Covid as cause of death.
If you want to assert that anyone with underlying conditions doesn't count - I'm sorry, we don't do things like that in civilised society. |

That's... not how medicine works.
I had another relative who died shortly after a stroke, with pneumonia. Didn't see the death certificate. Do we discount the stroke or the pneumonia?
One, middle aged, dropped dead for no apparent reason ten years after stopping heavy use of illicit substances. What's the easy Fab approved cause of death?
Life and death are complicated. If you want simple answers, I'm sure a charlatan will make one up for you. If you want truth, it's not easy and never black and white. |

The closest you'll get is the ONS cause of death data. It'll show where Covid is considered to be a cause of death.
If you want where *only* Covid causes death, then it doesn't exist.
But neither do deaths from anything else. |

It's even been quoted on tv by mps
You keep making ridiculous posts...what's your point?
Simple point really let's just continue vaccination we have protected the old and vunerable so let's just open up and get on with life before we die of old age
Is that a simple enough answer for you
Sure is. I hope we don't live in such a fact free selfish barbaric society.
"Most of the sick people have had a partial course of treatment, I don't believe the death toll is that bad, wanna go pub my human rights""
We have had this convo many times
Unlike you I've not had the benifit of being able to work from home I've had to continue to risk myself and family by working
I don't drink so why would I want a pub
All I'm saying is the government figures are not truthful and they have scare mongered people into believing if caught ur dead
Why didn't they issue a figure saying 98% of people will survive covid
The answer is its time to reopen
Get the furloughed back to work stop costing the country money that we will all end up paying back at some point
Get the economy back up and running so the unemployed can find new jobs
Or shall we stay in lockdown doing our bit for the cause from a computer cause we can't be arsed to retrain to deliver tests or vaccinations and moan at others who are working daily with others for wanting this to end |

"So how many deaths from covid alone not including any other underlying condition cause it ain't no where near 120000
That's impossible to distinguish. But we can distinguish "died of Covid" rather than "died with a recent diagnosis".
It's also a crap question. I have an autoimmune disease. My relatives with the same autoimmune disease have lived into their 90s. If I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, is it less important because I have an underlying health condition?
Not saying its not I'd just like to see true figures of covid only deaths not one's mixed in with other underlying ailments within 28 days
Its a signicant number...what number would you think is ok?
No number is OK 1 death is too many I'd just like a true fact of how many died of covid alone not with relation to other issues
Not hardto ask for
I'll give you an example
My mother's neighbour has been on a heart transplant list for 18mths he was told that if a donner wasn't found soon it would be too late 6 mths ago he contracted covid and recovered at home but he died less than a month later from heart failure his death was still added to the covid stats
Is that right to do so
And??? You're getting to hung up on the detail...doesn't really matter how it gets measured...the point is lots of folk have died needlessly because of the ineptitude of this government...that's what should be concerning you.
Agree but I'm asking how many from covid alone
If you can't answer it why reply
Maybe you should do your research, as the conspiracy theorists say.
The ONS has the answers you need"
Exactly...what is the point...'I need a number...an exact number otherwise its all lies..lets get back to normal if there's no number...what about manufacturing. ..what about the fuck up that's Brexit'...oops..sorry..the last bit doesn't fit the narrative. |

That's... not how medicine works.
I had another relative who died shortly after a stroke, with pneumonia. Didn't see the death certificate. Do we discount the stroke or the pneumonia?
One, middle aged, dropped dead for no apparent reason ten years after stopping heavy use of illicit substances. What's the easy Fab approved cause of death?
Life and death are complicated. If you want simple answers, I'm sure a charlatan will make one up for you. If you want truth, it's not easy and never black and white.
All I'm asking is the government provide covid only death data
Many deaths occur within a secondary infection or cause
You may have heart problems but get hit by a car ur death would go on stat as death by rta
The closest you'll get is the ONS cause of death data. It'll show where Covid is considered to be a cause of death.
If you want where *only* Covid causes death, then it doesn't exist.
But neither do deaths from anything else."
If you look at ONS the figures are broke down in various ways. One of those is deaths by pre-existing health condition (top 20) in England & Wales. In that data is 9,500 who died with covid but no pre-existing health condition.
Even before covid death certificates mentioned the cause and along with an illness. Example my grandfather’s official cause of death was liver failure, however his death certificate also mentions cancer (not of the liver) and 3 other things. It is likely his death was added to the cancer column that year as ultimately without the cancer his liver wouldn’t have given up.
A clear cut black & white death reason is rare if there are underlying medical conditions / illnesses. |

"Deaths due to Covid-19" is the data you're looking for and are seeming to deny exists.
It's funny you're condescending to me on how to use the very ONS website I'm flitting to to answer your questions. |

Waste of time commenting on yes its time to agree to end the lockdown as there's too many happy to sit at home while others continue to keep the country going
How many of those bums sat at home have volunteered to retrain while on furlough to help do testing or do a 4 hour training course if they hold a first aid cert to do vaccines
All this could of helped control and come out of lockdown early
But its too easy to sit on ur asses get money from the government while others risk themselves for you |

The vaccines are being rolled out by volunteers  it's being held up mostly by how many vaccines we have
I'm desperately sorry I'm stuck at home - yes sitting on my arse, but also working - to help reduce the spread of infection. I'm sorry the toll on my health and significant uptick in workload in my voluntary work pains you so |

So if I'm hit by a car, it's totally fine because I have an underlying health condition? Maybe I'm less of a person?
The ONS has suspended analysis of Covid deaths minus underlying conditions as of January, btw. |

That's not actually true at all. It should be REALLY obvious to anyone with even the lowest of intelligence, "you cannot infect someone else, if you stay at home".

If you can't answer it why reply
Maybe you should do your research, as the conspiracy theorists say.
The ONS has the answers you need
Exactly...what is the point...'I need a number...an exact number otherwise its all lies..lets get back to normal if there's no number...what about manufacturing. ..what about the fuck up that's Brexit'...oops..sorry..the last bit doesn't fit the narrative.
So you want to remain in lock down that's your choice for me and many others enough is enough lie after lie to keep us compliant
If you want the information, it exists, you have to find it.
If you want to ask unanswerable questions because you wanna party, then *shrug*
Party lol I don't drink I just want to go back to enjoying my life before I die
You comment everytime saying we should remain in lockdown cause its easy for you to do nothing to help the economy or the situation and you comment you do stuff for the elderly
You do it from the safety of your sofa so why have a go at people wanting normality back"
You know nothing about my economic contribution or lack thereof.
I want the people I assist to be able to buy a pint of milk without risking death. Not all of them have been fully vaccinated yet, the vaccines don't work in everyone, they're less effective in the elderly.
I'm glad you help the country. So do I. Funny old world where community work is seen as cowardly and wanting to enjoy your life is seen as noble and brave.
It's certainly not any morality I ascribe to. |

The only person your helping by not going out is yourself
That's not actually true at all. It should be REALLY obvious to anyone with even the lowest of intelligence, "you cannot infect someone else, if you stay at home".

The narrative has been rewritten because people are bored  |

"So how many deaths from covid alone not including any other underlying condition cause it ain't no where near 120000
That's impossible to distinguish. But we can distinguish "died of Covid" rather than "died with a recent diagnosis".
It's also a crap question. I have an autoimmune disease. My relatives with the same autoimmune disease have lived into their 90s. If I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, is it less important because I have an underlying health condition?
Not saying its not I'd just like to see true figures of covid only deaths not one's mixed in with other underlying ailments within 28 days
Its a signicant number...what number would you think is ok?
No number is OK 1 death is too many I'd just like a true fact of how many died of covid alone not with relation to other issues
Not hardto ask for
I'll give you an example
My mother's neighbour has been on a heart transplant list for 18mths he was told that if a donner wasn't found soon it would be too late 6 mths ago he contracted covid and recovered at home but he died less than a month later from heart failure his death was still added to the covid stats
Is that right to do so
That's... not how medicine works.
I had another relative who died shortly after a stroke, with pneumonia. Didn't see the death certificate. Do we discount the stroke or the pneumonia?
One, middle aged, dropped dead for no apparent reason ten years after stopping heavy use of illicit substances. What's the easy Fab approved cause of death?
Life and death are complicated. If you want simple answers, I'm sure a charlatan will make one up for you. If you want truth, it's not easy and never black and white.
All I'm asking is the government provide covid only death data
Many deaths occur within a secondary infection or cause
You may have heart problems but get hit by a car ur death would go on stat as death by rta
The closest you'll get is the ONS cause of death data. It'll show where Covid is considered to be a cause of death.
If you want where *only* Covid causes death, then it doesn't exist.
But neither do deaths from anything else.
If you look at ONS the figures are broke down in various ways. One of those is deaths by pre-existing health condition (top 20) in England & Wales. In that data is 9,500 who died with covid but no pre-existing health condition.
Even before covid death certificates mentioned the cause and along with an illness. Example my grandfather’s official cause of death was liver failure, however his death certificate also mentions cancer (not of the liver) and 3 other things. It is likely his death was added to the cancer column that year as ultimately without the cancer his liver wouldn’t have given up.
A clear cut black & white death reason is rare if there are underlying medical conditions / illnesses.
Exactly.
Exactly covid alone 9500
Thank you op "
That doesn’t mean the others didn’t die of covid, just maybe their bodies weren’t strong enough to deal with both conditions at the same time so covid could be the cause.

"It's a big con government web site down graded it last march . Please do your research before having any vaccine its everyone personal choice but dont take the TV's word for it. Look for yourself thanks x"
I've looked into this extensively for over a year. I'm of the view that the international scientific community takes this very seriously, and that all the vaccines are far safer than the risks of the disease.
I don't even own a television and I certainly don't watch one - I'm relying on public health experts. I'm currently listening to virologists talk about the use of plasma to treat Covid.
I thoroughly recommend research, I agree. You'll find out a lot.
I recommend you get your jabs, on the basis of my extensive research, although as you say it is a choice  |

Oh dear a year has passed and you still don’t understand the grading system for viruses. No hope. |

"Strange how Israel are the ones producing all our figures regarding vaccination stats
Number one country in vaccinations even better than us
Fully opened up now and only had a total of 5000 deaths in total
This is from a country 10x smaller than UK with 10,000,000 people in built up cities
Stats are available from most countries. Lots from the UK. What are you on about?
Most of vaccine info is coming from Israel they are ones who issued it to 90% of there population first and they are the ones feeding the reports to other countries
It's even been quoted on tv by mps
You keep making ridiculous posts...what's your point?
Simple point really let's just continue vaccination we have protected the old and vunerable so let's just open up and get on with life before we die of old age
Is that a simple enough answer for you"
Sage published their unlocking from Covid document on the 18th of Feb.
It proposes 4 different scenarios.
They expect another 30000 to die by the end of the summer, at least.
Unlocking with just the vulnerable vaccinated is not the option the government have chosen because many more will die.
I would ask you to please look at it- it is a very chilling piece of information. |

1 that would have been a worse case scenario.
2 that would have been based on data in January. |

Continue the vaccinations and let's get back to some sort of normality before we all die of old age anyways"

Do you realise the ammount of people vaccinated there are now our local vaccination centres are now doing people 45 and below
How long do you want to hide for you only get one life hiding away ain't living its existing
Perhaps all workers from all sectors including NHS carers police utility people should of all said at the beginning we are gonna stay at home why should we risk ourselves and family
The virus couldn't of travelled then |

Do you realise that there are shades of grey between your imagined me wetting my bed because I might catch a sniffle, and letting it rip?
Risk mitigation is a thing.
We're opening up.
Be patient. |
