Anthony Costello (ex who expert) has sensationally claimed that therere 38k cases of covid infections taking place daily in UK, and there have been claims about lack of testing too. It is due to these claims that Chief Medical Officer for England Chris Whitty is pushing for a 2 week strict lockdown, but Boris is resisting this and like it or not I feel that hes taking the correct decision at this stage. While I understand that covid effects are dangerous, but UKs economy currently is fragile, and shutting it now could completely cripple whatever is left of their economy, hence I support Boris call that UK should not do a fresh lockdown.
Ex-WHO expert Anthony Costello tweeted: "Im hearing from a well-connected person that government now thinks, in absence of testing, there are 38,000 infections per day.
"Chris Whitty is advising PM for a two week national lockdown."

The economy is very important at this point and its not the fault of the PM to take that stand eventually if the economy should collapse a lot of lives might be further lost that goes beyond the people that would be infected by COVID-19. The PM thoughts goes beyond health but the impact on every sector on the country should the lockdown happened again.
