ENGLAND IS embarking on a brave—critics say reckless—epidemiological experiment. It is seeking to end all social restrictions despite a large new wave of covid-19 infections. The British government certainly thinks it is possible to do so without incurring myriad deaths and overwhelming the National Health Service. From July 19th England ended all restrictions on its citizens, including the legal requirement to wear masks in enclosed public places.
Nonetheless, England’s unlocking on July 19th does not come without risks. As cases rise exponentially—the government has warned that they might surpass 100,000 a day in August—more people will need treatment in hospital and more will die. At current rates of hospitalisation, official cases would need to rise to about 175,000 a day—three times their winter peak—for hospital admissions to approach the levels experienced in January. That could occur in about four weeks.
Mr Johnson insists that the country must learn to live with coronavirus. His scientists say that delaying the ending of restrictions would simply defer rather than avert the deaths that will inevitably occur. They say that it is better to end restrictions now, when schools are closed for summer and flu cases are low.
Its a test of whether or not they practice what they preach. The science is sound or its not. We were supposed to believe the science.
