Professor Jonathan Van-Tam says the country is 'running into a headwind' as 'winter in the NHS is always a difficult period.

A mask-wearing man walks through Nottingham as the country has reached a 'tipping point' in relation to coronavirusThe country has reached a tipping point similar to the first wave of coronavirus but is still in a position to stop history repeating itself, England's deputy chief medical officer has said.

Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said the best way to keep transmission low and stop the NHS being overwhelmed was for people with symptoms to self-isolate and get a test, and for people to wash their hands, wear face coverings and maintain social distancing. He also said that the country now has much better testing capabilities, knows more about the disease, and has better treatments than during the first wave., we are at a tipping point similar to where we were in March; but we can prevent history repeating itself if we all act now.

"Earlier in the year, we were fighting a semi-invisible disease, about which we had little knowledge, and it seeded in the community at great speed."Now we know where it is and how to tackle it - let's grasp this opportunity and prevent history from repeating itself."Prof Van-Tam also warned more deaths are to come after Office for National Statistics showed that an estimated 224,000 people have the virus.

Do a full lockdown an shut pubs schools unis colleges only way of getting this back under control

Help spread the word EndSARS and PoliceBrutalityInNigeria 🇳🇬

funding needed to keep schools open! Catch-up, level-up & remain Covid safe - max. of 20 in each class! Stop super spreaders being crammed into overcrowed classrooms. They are cost-effively crammed together in small spaces for 6hrs+ a day. A ridiculous strategy!

The same tipping point when nightingale hospitals were built but not used .

Is the logical corollary of that statement here that if the controls fail then the leadership was ineffective and weak? COVID19

Are you sure? You can combine ALL the flu and Covid stats into one. But no one believes this now. 99.9.%+ recover

By turning the tel'lie'vision off it all goes away...... What virus

Only one man for the job.

Oh give it a rest Sky!!! Stop your bullshit

The coronavirus is Mongolian biological weapon! If don't believe it, they may slowly end killing humanity!

Bulls***. Total cases still account for less than 1% of population. Total deaths still account for less than 1%. Covid_19 24th cause of death last month in UK. Are we on tipping point for other 23 cause of death 🤔 - No ! of course not. Time to cut the hysteria on Covid_19

Covid19 aside ...If every ‘normal’ year the NHS struggles during the Winter, then why on earth wasn’t something been done about that years ago?

lol shut up nobody’s in trouble anymore

So?

England has indeed reached a tipping point with its tolerance for this nonsense!

Well we all know who to blame for this don’t we! I hope the Covidiots are proud of themselves. If justice was fair it should be them that are losing their jobs and in some cases fighting to breath in hospital.

Wondering when he would crawl from under his rock and start to scare people again.

Actually. We should live with it open everything. As adults you decide what is safe. If you don’t like a place then don’t go there. If you do then you own the risk that you might infect and kill your loved ones.

So maybe lockdown? In March the UK lockdown was late, now it’s not all, wonder why infections are out of control?🤔

Drivel

Why weren’t masks compulsory in March ! Biggest load of bullshit ! Who’s making money out of selling millions upon millions of these masks in the U.K. ?

But with far, far, far less people even pretending to die from it.

And now want to try Hurd immunity .....Idiots ......Should have the lockdown locked down a lot earlier on the first wave and kept it locked down until had a proper grip on the problems dealing with the virus 🦠

Really?

bunch of Liars they are.

Here's the data from the and the survival rate is close to 100% CDCgov website:

At least we’ve finally found a cure for the flu though eh 🤭😏 394 deaths this year, it’s a miracle! 😀

Bull. Shit.

Rubbish, stop playing with figures

Kiss me, baby!

Another lockdown is coming.

Apart from the first leaflet at the start f the panemic I've not had a single communication from the government telling me what what restrictions are in place. Ads on Twitter and Fashbook are not enough to inform people of new law and restrictions.

Hey chief medical offer! Hope your huge wage won’t be affected by this..... of course it won’t.

An it’s not even Winter yet !!!

99.96% chance of survival. . Why are u pushing this utter bollox? coronavirus is a hoax

And were in a 2nd wave. The tide that means the Wave.

Deaths low for now hopefully this second wave is levelling out.

Has anyone heard from terrorism or we just consolidating all our terrorism into one virus now?

Deputy? Lets hear from Organ grinder..

Statistics will be manipulated to fit the narrative

Man made panic is not selling. Try harder.

Didn’t the NHS predict the 2nd wave a few months back I seem to remember? This Government completely unprepared for this one also!

Get yer fucking furlough out UKgovcomms

Seems that the cases are a lot worse, deaths aren’t as bad...yet. With hospitalisations rising and deaths slowly going up only a matter of time until deaths are sadly back to March levels 🙈 people need to start listening now and not waiting until we’re seeing thousands a day!

Like Malcolm Gladwell?

I actually think it is worse than the first wave
