Anthony Costello (ex who expert) has sensationally claimed that there’re 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 he’s taking the correct decision at this stage. While I understand that covid effects are dangerous, but UK’s 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: "I’m 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."

I think that lockdowns are not really the way forward what we need to do is to enforce more strictly the use of all the measures needed to prevent the spread of the virus, for example in most cities you can see everyone with face masks but many are wearing them incorrectly and while everyone knows that it is uncomfortable to wear the face masks correctly if you are in pubic you must do so in order to protect yourself and others, small things like that could help curb the advance of the virus with lockdowns being the last resort.
