The UK could see about 120,000 new coronavirus deaths in a second wave of infections this winter, scientists say.
But research suggests the virus can survive longer in colder conditions and is more likely to spread when people spend more time indoors. Prof Stephen Holgate, a respiratory specialist from University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust, who chaired the report, said:"This is not a prediction - but it is a possibility."But the risk of this happening could be reduced if we take action immediately."
Keeping infection rates low as Britain emerges from lockdown will be critical in controlling the disease.But there are things we can all do, including isolating and getting tested if we develop symptoms.
The models these “scientists” have come up with so far were all wrong. Why would they be right now? Stfu bbc peddle your fear elsewhere.
So us in the sheilding group who still have restrictions until august means we might get a few months before being locked away again 🥴 It was so hard staying in and not seeing anyone for 4 months 😢
يا حبيبي اذا الحكي صحيح قربو يخلصوا العدسات
Just shut up DefundTheBBC
Deaths worldwide from those who became infected with Covid-19 are nearly 4%. Deaths from those who became infected in the UK with covid-19 are over 15%. Shame on the UK government and the NHS for such dreadful unnecessary high death rates from covid-19.
This is COMPLETE & UTTER UNSCIENTIFIC PURE FEAR MONGERING BULLSHIT!!! with NO GENUINE VALIDITY WHATSOEVER!!! BBC should be ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!!
Why should that be with this lot in charge who did nothing wrong. Oh hang on.....
May as well ask what the lottery numbers are going to be, it's total guesswork
According to the media, there have been more proposed waves than in the ocean!
BBC has again picked the worse case as the headline. The report says there could be a range from least to worse. Do you understand the damage you do by constantly focusing on the worse? We have a better understanding of treatments. We may have a vaccine. Better results not worse.
Bullshit. I want to know what the fuck is I. The chemtrails they been dumping on us non stop! Even during no fly zone they were dumping all over us
Look at how many die of the regular flu for a change and how more are dying of septicaemia than cancer the list goes on ..tell people its only the vulnerable at risk and already sick folks ..the young fit is hardly on the charts ..masks Harbour more germs so research tells us ..
Doom doom doom any chance of some good news?
Don’t you just love a bit of scaremongering...
Shove off BBCNews.
Could be .... So, might not be ... This is just groundless nonsense🙈
No shit Sherlock.
AND IT COULD BE NOTHING AT ALL . Those miserable, bitter, twisted people ... off with their heads !
Fuck sake BBC
All this scaremongering helps no one ,just encourages insecurity .
Fear porn, don’t believe the hype
Could, maybe, perhaps , actually no one actually knows what will happens I mean I could get knocked over by a bus today!!!
As much as the news does panic people I have to agree this isn’t over- if they found farm workers 70+ Positive? how many new are out there we don’t know about
Something to look forward to then 🤔
So get the mask on. Get the contact tracing system working. GET FUCKIN PREPARED!!!!
Completely irresponsible reporting, you should be ashamed
Why report on a possibility
Couldn't the headline be winter cases might not be as bad as we fear? Isn't the point we don't know enough?
So why on earth do we think this is a good time to leave the EU our ecconomy needs stability ! This is madness utter madness
How to ruin the rest of the summer in one sentence!
Gosh really? Whodathunk it? Why I mean, it's not like virtually every epidemiologist around the world has been saying this since it started. Next on on BBC 'Mafeking has been relieved'. Do keep up.
I keep hearing about 'Winter Waves' in reference to Coronavirus..nothing I know or read about Coronavirus suggests Winter weather has anything to do with transmission rates. An influence may be in winter, people are usually indoors/in close proximity with each other. Mask up!
Project fear strike's agian
Richwfc2 No it won't, though the Government will make it sound that way
Media scare mongering again ,they dont actually know.
Could
REMINDER: You can't block the news because its depressing. It could happen, and it could be worse. Better to be ready and prepared for if/when it happenes and take note then plug your ears, shut your eyes and go La La La
Will be worse From what I see in a visit to the pub Friday, it was complete chaos nobody distancing I left before I got a drink
This is real and so many are apathetic or refuse to acknowledge it altogether. Sad we can’t thin the heard of only those who need to go.
BBC negative propaganda unit at it again ! Scrap the licence fee make them compete with commercial companies
What was that Orwell said about keeping population permanently in a state of fear.....
We all hope not.
Nothing better than the bbc whipping up a bit of hysteria to keep summer bumping along
Why do people just say 'could' as a reply? Attention seeking? Thick? Pucker holes? There's a pandemic, this is a warning, try not to be an arse.
Going by the fact that many people are reporting to of had covid in November/December 2019, I think we’re in the second wave right now! 🤔
Are you not fed up of broadcasting fear mongering?!?!? Crying wolf never gets any the wiser!
We don't care. We not taking government vaccines. We are prepared to die.
Up there with the coldest winter for 50 years- we get every year that doesn’t happen
What a non story - scare story based on nothing
Duh? It would hit in winter which would be much more devastating than March of April
When will you be bringing in a countdown clock on the screen.
We now have: - fewer vulnerable people - more IC beds and ventilators - a virus that may be losing deadliness over virulence -better understanding of pathology - better treatments and more coming -more awareness of risks A new wave, if any, is not likely to be worse than the 1st
Why is she wearing a mask inside her own house? Yes, the BBC knows what it’s doing and what it’s been doing all along
Nothing like the BBC to brighten up up the day
Ooh you do know how to cheer everyone up don’t you! 🙄
Bbc , erm what story can we run today to scare people, I know YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! . yep good old bbc never one to miss the chance to run scare stories
research suggests the virus can survive longer in colder conditions and is more likely to spread when people spend more time indoors. And experts are concerned the NHS will be under extreme pressure, not just from a resurgence of coronavirus but also from seasonal flu.
Such happy positive thinking from BBC and Daily Mail !! 😖😟
DefundTheBBC
Millennium Bug all over again.
This is a perfect example of irresponsible journalism
Rubbish
why is she waving
The bbc are desperate for it
Lots of 'coulds' and 'mays', like when I get a parking ticket from a private carpark 'we might take you to court' - 10 years on, I still haven't been to court.
All more reason to wear masks then 😂
ScumMedia mediascum DefundTheBBC
Remember the tale of the boy who cried wolf? While I believe a second wave is possible, with so many doom gloom stories it’s going to lose its impact. So when we do need people to take action, they’ll be numb to the message. 🤔
Conservatives how about prepare this time?
If that's correct , lets hope the hospitals/ care homes are stocking up on PPE so they don't have the same fiasco .
God forbid a second wave... There been so many people lives have destroyed and uncertainty... I wish not that we see this invisible deadly virus again peoplelivelihoodmatter
Mystery why
Considering every death throughout has been put down as Covid it’s hardly surprising news
Or not as bad. Or about the same again. Time will tell. But in the meantime, let’s go with much worse and get everyone worried.
Great bit of reporting. Terrify the vulnerable and run down the economy. Well done, worth every penny of the license fee.
Media hype. Let’s just try be positive. Use your media powers to help not pull down
Oh shut up
Why do we bother with the BBC? Journalists, editors, managers all seem to work towards broadcasting fake or misleading fiction aimed at bashing government or pulling down our wonderful UK. Time to stop this.
More scaremongering from the bbc heres a story for you asteroid might hit earth 🌍🤦♂️
Any Middleton: “who cares I’m not scared of some silly virus” Not a direct quote but...
“Could”. BBC’s favourite word. How about “Second wave could never happen”.
Could/should/might = no story.
There again it Could be better. ‘Could’ every journalist’s cop out.
I vote,Everyone goes right back on furlough for at least a year. Businesses stay closed. The mint starts printing bucketloads of dosh and everyone has a great time.there will Always be a virus if some kind.🤔🤔
Ah scaremongering again. No wonder people are paranoid.
Fuck me scare mongering again!!! You should hold your heads in shame ScumMedia defundBBC
More scaremongering. What cheerful news!
BBC scaremongering, just let us get on with our lives.
Just like we were told 500K deaths this summer. Please, stop.
Could, maybe, might, possible, kinda, I think,... DefundTheBBC
Peoples should be aware and be prepared. During winter flu spread quicker.
There you go again. Scaremongering. ' could' is not news.
What lovely news, great that we have something to look forward to during the winter months! What a time to be alive
Speculation again! You’re like the tabloid newspapers who predict a scorching summer for us every year!!
Maybe? Then let's wait until spring next year to be sure, and if it is worse, ponder another 4 months if we should be wearing masks.
That could word again
*could be aka will be.
What a load of nonsense and the experts know it. CoronaScam
Keep stirring it BBC
An asteroid 'could' hit the Earth
Bout of ghonnoreah could be worse than first.
I Hope not. 😢😢😢
Ahh more scaremongering..well done 👍
Might be, maybe, but....who knows, and if they don't know, why should I care?
Why are you allowed to write this shit with no real evidence of anything?Just predictions. Have we not been through enough without trying to scaremonger us more? Five it a rest for a wee while ffs. Maybe press the government for a covid free strategy.
Wave 2 will be here sooner even with masks. Predict mid August.
Mainstream media = fear fear fear.....gobble it up little sheep......
Hahaha you just make it up as you go along 🤣🤣
Hence why Wear A Mask and stop this happening, Covid 19 is our new seasonal virus and its up to the public to stop it spreading.
'Could'...
Just make sure you get to ‘spoons in August... eat out to help out... you know... take it on the chin... get that herd immunity
Boris Johnson ScareStories Actually my worst case estimate in order to establish HerdImmunity in the UK without a vaccine is 1,600,000 Deaths. Perhaps we should just make UncleBoris PresidentForLife now and just let him get on with his GenocidalSlaughter? BorisTheButcher
😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂 good old BBC
Ahhhh the keep the project fear going , I bet that massive makeshift hospital in London will be packed to the rafters again with the massive 0.04 percent of under 70s dying fook off whoppers , ps haven't paid the TV tax for 12yrs
Charging over 75s for a TV licence will be detrimental to many this winter..
Yey. More panic inciting reporting...Well done 🙄
This is very vague and a bit scaremongering.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda!
if it happens it happens everyone should where a mask as soon as they leave their house to prevent this then maybe less people will get it.
please....stop this insanity.....
My blue passport will protect me!
Twitter where is the dislike button? Also why don’t u ban Fake news
Stop scare mongering. I could be killed in a car accident tomorrow, yet Is still carry on with my life.
🚨Breaking News🚨 New Deadly Global Outbreak Staggering Bellybutton recordings show the growing disaster of opening early. CovidFraud recorded more than 15,000,000 Bellybutton exposures on Sunday as sunbathers bared their midriffs the highest number of new cases any day in 2020
Personal responsibility. If you want to wear a mask , wear one. If you want to stay locked up....stay. We done.
There's that 'could' again
But hang on, it's OK, we all got masks on. Lol.
Please let it be true... Given everything you currently put out is utter bollox, we should assume this is true as well?
Translation, if government tells you to do this you must comply.
LOL That is a bad flu season
Project Fear continues... DefundTheBBC
Yep Australia is experiencing a winter outbreak now
Could be. Might not be. Who knows? Bit of a non-story really.
Load of shit
Because of Climate Change 🥸
It will be if we’re going to behave like wankers and start pulling statues down again. By the way. I’ve binned my tv license. You’ve been cancelled.
Sure seems that way
Its already another winter and there is no sign that COVID19 going to subside soon ...
osturun da uje, zaebali
doubt it
Abaa, mo koraa yabr33 mo ... Y3 b3wo ntse y3nda 😒
