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."

Almost every country will have a negative growth in GDP this year due to corona and lock downs. We saw drops in all major countries between 7-30%, which is massive. We just can't afford another lock down. There needs to be a trade off between saving lifes and stabilising the economy. I believe we should be taking good care of high risk people and elderly people, but closing down the hole country for everyone is just too much. We still don't know how long corona will be around so it's better to adapt to a life with corona.
