Lockdown measures could be in place until 2021 until vaccine or drug cure is found

LOCKDOWN measures will be needed until the end of the year to control coronavirus - until a drug or a vaccine is round, Chris Whitty admitted today.

It was "wholly unrealistic" to think a return to normal life is possible anytime soon, Mr Whitty told the Downing Street press conference this evening. "In the long run, the exit from this is going to one be one of two things... One of which is a highly effective vaccine. Strict measures include school closures and social distancing for everyone, but less restrictive measures include isolating cases and households.The Sun reported that instead of any clean end to lockdown, senior government figures braced the nation to expect a very long path out of it through the summer and deep into the autumn.No10 officials now refer to what happens after the current three week extension that ends on May 7 as “next phase”.

can someone inform the UK government the importance of everyone wearing a mask(in my opinion made with a good fabric).People going into shops could have the virus with no symptoms/signs meaning they can pass it onto others.Face mask could prevent this.Why is this govt slow to act

How about you enforce some better rules UK!

No chance the uk won't stand for that the country will go bust that's fact people just want to get back to work

They can fuck off no vaccine and no app a ain't a rat and ain't being tracked

' i predict a riot ' 😡

Things are really bad.

Is he from the west world series👽

Social distancing will be in place until next year. Shops to continue as they are now must stay 2 meters apart. Cinemas and gyms may reopen but that would mean only allowing a few in at any time. Pubs will remain closed. You can have gatherings its to risky for everyone health

paullewismoney Bye bye sun😆

People won’t stand for it.

Whatever is best for our health!🙏🏼

How when over place are liveing there lockdown only because the government didn’t act when we should of done.. now look what all done now people loveing jobs ect what people with mental health 😭

Good

No social distancing. Stop scaremongering..

And people talking shite about gatherings happening in September this year. The stupidity of some people is laughable. 😂

coburn4brexit All taken out of context

Not what he said though🙄 FakeNewsMediaClowns

oldbid45 Dream on !!

People will end up rebelling, just look at what's going on in Paris right now, I was and still am all for a lockdown but the world does have to go back to normal at somepoint.

596 DEAD - SEE PAGE 4

Typical the sun with fake news

Fake news

I dgaf if u extend it to the rapture happens I’m not taking a fkn vaccine 😆 I see what ur trying to do though and many of us see it

Nope it ends at the next review and the CMO links to donations from the gates Foundation must be looked into. While I draw breath you shall not steal my freedoms

coburn4brexit Just as Bill requested

He is a liar

Put him in isolation for 5 years.

Don’t lie!

paullewismoney Fuck that!

Their taking the p**ss!! People should take to the streets if this going to be the case and say enough is enough. It’s either taking a chance with the virus or losing your freedom . . . permanently and our living standards.

Rightly so too to stay on lockdown till we get on top of this corona IMAGINE the press tearing into the government if they lifted it and it got even worse !! Common sense says stay on lockdown..

Good luck with that, I’m not staying in after the next review I’ll take my chances

Lol this rag.

Then we may as well turn the guns on ourselves because the country will be f**ked!!!This is utter UTTER none sense.Between the medical ‘professionals’, the lying politicians and journalists(Piers Morgan has five jobs ya know!)they are all full sh*t and have no idea whats going on

I'm sorry but theres no way I'm not seeing my family that long. I'll be as socially distant as I can but I draw the line at not seeing my mum and dad until next year

paullewismoney The sun gonna love this...

paullewismoney Nothing has changed then.

paullewismoney It’s all about injecting that vaccine 💉 🖕...no thanks

That's not what he said. He said social distancing measures not lock down measures

He didn’t even say that, I just wish the media would get their facts straight 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡! But stay safe everyone!

Fake news again

Whhhhhhhaaaatf!

If this is true, then it ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEES their's going to be huge riots & mass civil disobedience very soon!

Too right

Keep your vaccine.

paullewismoney This is the exact reason things are being so much more difficult for so many people. Scaremongering and obscene speculation. This situation is bad enough without being made worse.

What a load of bullshite! We wouldn’t have an economy left by then.

The liberals couldn't get socialism through the legal ballot process and now they have their chance... No one has a job, everyone depends on the state, add fear desperation from a virus and you have instant socialism.

I must have been watching a different update because that is not what was said

What's going to happen to the people that are shielding for 12 weeks?Does it mean we have to stay at home for the rest of the year?

Nonsense.

“Some form of social distancing will have to be in place” not lockdown do you actually do your job or just spread fake news......

Christmas without seeing your family...yeah ok

nfw

What!

He and Gates can shove their vaccine where the sun doesn’t shine. I have a functioning immune system and intend to use it.

what we need is ..Awh a Drug Lord

paullewismoney If this were true, the likelihood is lock down will never end as there is no guarantee that a vaccine is possible.

Did he say that ? No.

Fake news the sun twisting it again

Typical fake news!!!

The sun spout different shit every day about when this will end , they’ve suggested every month in the calendar and now starting on next year

You're gonna go bust spouting shit like that.

Well that's a load of bollocks. The way I understood it was that social distancing measures may not be relaxed until a vaccine/drug - that doesn't mean lockdown as it is now, but something less restrictive, though what they may be who knows!

Garbage

NiallOGlacain And you wonder why people hate your crappy newspaper

I’m going to swear now. Is this for fucking real?

Can we afford to carry on losing £2.6 billion a day for the rest of the year?

Don’t think so riots will happen like in Paris and America

Didn’t take you long to post something like this lol
