More than 100,000 people could die from coronavirus in the UK by the end of this year if the government eases the lockdown too quickly and too quickly: this is what emerges from a joint study by the London School of Tropical Hygiene, from Imperial College London and other institutes sent to scientific advisors of the Sage government advisory group (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies). There are now 31,662 deaths in the country.
According to reports from the Sunday Times, which cites a scientific adviser, the researchers analyzed several exit models from the lockdown to assess their feasibility and concluded that "there is very limited room for maneuver".
Again according to the same source, more than one model indicated a six-figure death toll in some scenarios. Premier Boris Johnson will speak to the nation today at 19:00 (20:00 in Italy) and according to rumors he will say that he intends to proceed with caution to remove the lockdown and will invite the public to "pay attention" to the continuous risks of the coronavirus.
