Academics and MPs had been demanding its release since Thursday, when the government had announced only very limited measures, fuelling suspicions it was pursuing a “herd immunity” strategy in which the bulk of the population would become infected.”
“First, it shows for the first time that the pandemic, were it to hit Britain uncontrolled, would top the “reasonable worst cases scenario” for 500,000 deaths that Public Health England has long used for contingency planning purposes. This is a serious matter in regards to contingency planning for future outbreaks. “
“- - - the report details likely hospitalisation figures by age. Overall it predicts nearly 4.4 per cent of the population will be hospitalised, rising to 27.3 per cent for those over 80. “We assume that 30 per cent of those that are hospitalised will require critical care”, it adds.”
“- - - they predict 260,000 deaths on the government’s original “mitigation” strategy – a mixture of social-distancing measures to slow the spread of infection but not completely interrupt it.”
“While previously the new social-distancing measures would have been temporary, now they would need to be held in place until such time as a vaccine or treatment was found, perhaps a year or more.”
