They warn of up to 6,000 deaths a day if measures are not taken “very soon”

This committee estimates the number of new infections a day at between 600,000 and two million by the end of December, while hospital admissions could be between 3,000 and 10,000 a day, according to the newspaper ‘The Guardian’ last night. For this reason, experts recommend re-imposing “more restrictive measures (…) very soon.” The speed of putting in place these restrictions is “crucial.”
“Delaying them until 2022 would greatly reduce the effectiveness of these interventions and make it less likely that they could avoid considerable pressure on the health and care system,” they warned. Scientists propose reducing gatherings at home and banning travel abroad.
