China’s restrictions have brought the first wave to an end but the danger of a second is very real

Countries wanting to end the lockdown and allow people to move about and work again will have to monitor closely for new infections and adjust the controls they have in place until there is a vaccine against Covid-19, according to a new study based on the Chinese experience.

sarahboseley bit of a misleading title. gmleunghku et al. calls for measures to be relaxed gradually.

oh boy. so world's going full Mad Max after all

oxted Title 'Lockdowns can't end' reality Wuhan comes out of lockdown. Misleading title, let's have responsible reporting please.

Daily mail headline this

That's why Sweden is NOT doing this.

This was always how it would be,

But China did.......

Eighteen months, most likely scenario? Surely you mean restrictions.

Even in the midst of a global pandemic, some academics can't resist publishing deliberately inflammatory conclusions to get some attention. Why conclude something that's totally and utterly unworkable?

If it goes on that long we should have herd immunity and thankfully won’t need bill gates depopulation vaccine 💉

Seems like this is heading towards something, for the life of me I can't imagine what it could possibly be. ^^

That means lock down for possibly over 1 year

The hell it can't, there'll be riots in the street if this goes on much longer than a few more weeks!

it always comes back to the 1st conspiracy theory. China engineered, released the virus on purpose originally hoping to kill the old, weak, poor to minimize pension and dough domestically while exporting sharing virus overseas pull the rug under the west.

So we need to go back herd Immunity?🤔 World can't lockdown forever. Even Vaccine found, how long does it take to get mass produce to supply the whole world.

Mmm, hell fucking no.

Erm, wot? I'll be out of money in 3 months. Some people are already out of money! 😟 What then? 😦

Some of us knew this.

Just keep us on lockdown until the no new reported cases, then close our boarders with everyone? simple. No need to be on lockdown for 18 months

It ends on April 30 or we are so f'd. I'd rather take my very slim chances of death from virus than the higherer chance of death by social unrest if we have no supply chain and no economy. A hachet in my head doesn't sound fun.

And we need a Plan B should there not be an effective vaccine developed e.g SARS & MERS

Perfect! Until then let's invest more more more money in pharma industry. And then the virus will mutate and another different vaccine will be needed. I personally can stay on lockdown forever if the state will pay me basic income.

Obviously..

1% and 6% are not the death rate, it's the (confirmed) case fatality rate. This is the exact term and this is the term used in the article you're referring to. The 'death rate' would be a proportion on either the full population or all infected people (including the asymptomatic)

oh please

No country will stay in a lockdown untill a vaccine is found a vaccine could take one or two years to be found.

That is junk science. Before simply accepting this idea, it would behoove one to read up a bit on how Ebola and other contagious diseases have been dealt with. Social distancing is important and necessary, but the 'wait until a vaccine' idea is not valid.

Well I'm not emerging until I'm sure it's safe. Luckily I am able to do that. I pray for those that can't. I'm so thankful for our NHS & all key workers.

That's silly and not likely. Not even feasible, economically. And not what is happening (so far) in East Asian countries.

BCG vaccine trials started yesterday in Australia. Provides protection against coronaviruses as well as TB and bladder cancer. BCG BRACE covid-19

There is no SARS (2003) vaccine safe enough for market release yet, is there?

18 months?

That's Christmas cancel then.

How about we get an effective treatment, that way we can treat those who have the damn virus now.

How’s your circulation now schools and colleges not getting deliveries of your paper and BBC staff not taking their copies at the office? Even Kate Hoey has stopped reading the gEUrdian

Der Coronavirus ist jetzt :

Vaccines for viruses don't work. Viruses keep morphing. Which is why we still have the common cold and the flu with us forever. By the time you get your shot the strand of RNA code the COVID-19 vaccine will be based on will be LONG obsolete.

And once it is found, the virus mutates, and all of the hell is back.

who didn't already know this?

a dictator can change your strategy at any time, usually it's hard to believe

Maybe there will have to continue to be restrictions, but treatment will improve, we will identify it sooner and be able to intervene earlier. We won’t be as ignorant as now, and the lockdown hopefully will be eased.

Once again the Guardian publishes a clickbait headline that doesn't match what it reports in the FIRST paragraph of the article. Lockdowns aren't the same thing as social distancing and other preventative measures. This is disgraceful 'journalism'.

A lot of people is struggling with putting food on their tables, and the government efforts in each country varies so much. At the time a vaccine is found, it will be too late and not all will be able to have access, they won't have the money for it.

TheLancet HIV still doesn't have ones..

It's yet another model which like any model is good as the data it gets in. Please no more headlines which could just confuse people

I promise you if this lockdown goes on past May, the public will begin to rebel. I know many people who are planning on opening their businesses back up when June starts, regardless

The Graun as ever full of negativity, full of gloom🌚

uh, yes, they can. and they will. with one caveat. there may need to be isolated modified lockdown from. time to time in any given region. but with antibody testing we can roam almost freely. herd immunity with this is likely 60-70%. and right now we have ZERO data on that

People are loosing jobs and finding difficult to put food on the table come on ! We are all immune now !

Choice never ends. Every parent that ever vaccinated their kid to prevent them contracting an horrific life changing disease, every adult whose parent did this for them out of unconditional love, we all know this is the only path to take. I'm not giving this killer virus the win.

Dumb statement.

No

So until about February next year? Cool, cheers

Jobless and hunger much more dangerous dan Corona Virus 2019. They can kill people to through starvation and sicknesa

Oh dear.

That could take years..

Goodluck humans

Duh
