"The "lockdown" was introduced to help the NHS,so it wasnt overwhelmed with admissions,this seems to have worked,as admissions are now down to a more manageable rate. The government are now trying to find ways of easing the restrictions on people,and this will be a gradual process. I can't however forsee us being able to have the freedom we were use to pre covid19 pandemic. It will be a slow process,and that's if it ever returns to what we thought of as the norm " This ^^^^ The virus isn't just going to disappear. It's here for good like the flu and the common cold. We just have to hope and pray that they find a vaccine. I can't see things going back to how they were pre-covid. People are still dying daily we seem to be getting complacent. Just because we can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not still happening | |||

"What do we think? Is the virus slowly going to disappear? Or come back with a vengance?" nope.... 2nd wave coming in the autumn.... the 2nd wave is always worse than the first.... and if it is true only 15% of londoners have had it, and only 5% of the rest of the country.. and it has done this much damage then we have a long long way to go | |||

"Herd immunity over the summer at manageable rates is the plan. It's not going anywhere. " can we stop using the term herd immunity.... if the govt scientists are to believed they think that roughly 15% of londoners have had covid so are... and 5% of the rest of the country.... you can see how much damage has been done so far with relatively few people having it...herd immunity will only kick in at roughly 70% minimum.... thats why the herd immunity strategy would have cost hundreds of thousands of lives... | |||

"The peak was around the 8th April Source: Professor David Leon at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Huge numbers are dying of the collateral damage of lockdown and will continue to do so for years to come. Even the UK Government predicted 150,000 'excess' deaths from the hit to UK plc, in the coming recession." As opposed to how many if we had not locked down at all and over what period for the above? | |||

"What do we think? Is the virus slowly going to disappear? Or come back with a vengance?" Worldwide? No. The American and Brazilian governments are giving it the ideal environment in which to thrive. With a reservoir of that size, it's not going anywhere. | |||

" I've said this in another post, herd immunity is and always was the strategy. Vallance said they wanted to push it to the summer, and achieve 60% herd immunity. That's exactly what they did. They've pushed it into the summer. They're increasing the congestion charge to force people back onto public transport. Rushing schools back. They are warning there may be no vaccine. So it's their only strategy. | |||

Just because we can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not still happening " People forget, and younger people aren’t aware of, the curse of infectious diseases that were prevalent before vaccines and (in the case of bacterial infections) antibiotics. I am old enough to remember people scarred by smallpox (now eradicated) and maimed by polio and tuberculosis. My father lost the sight in one of his eyes because of measles at the age of 5. And they were the ones who survived - all those diseases had significant fatality rates. | |||

"What do we think? Is the virus slowly going to disappear? Or come back with a vengance?" I think that we're on the right track. A slow release is what is required. All lockdown restrictions should be released by the end of July I think. Cal | |||

"I think it a spike in about 3 weeks." It hasn't in other countries which lifted restrictions. Is it just a hunch? | |||

"It is going to be around for a while. Inly reason it is falling bow is die to restrictions in place. With people like the misinformed London Mayor running the show, it will start again down there. To claim public transport is safe - just so long as you wash your hands with no suggestion of spread from exhaled breath, coughing or sneezing. What planet he is on is beyond me, Boris needs to also take head of USA's Dr Fauci's warning that the general poplulation as a whole should be offered and encouraged to have this years Flu shot as soon as available. Two reasons, one being more likely anyone with symptoms will be COVID and two, reduce Winter Flu admissions to hospitals allowing concentration and resources to deal with it. Reduce the fog of Flu to allow sight of the real issue." Well said! Till there is no proper vaccin given to everybody, people will get ill.. we all are responsible to make sure health care world wide will be able to manage this AND/in combination with the regular care. Let's not forget that! | |||

"I am hoping the antibody test can suggest it isn't as prevalent as first thought. The process is dragging its heels a little, though Additionally, no one has suggested that malaria is no as important; I don't know why it comes back to an argument of ethnicity. This however is a global pandemic happening now, and needs to be dealt with. I absolutely believe that WAY over 400,000 will die of this in 2020 (I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't already been surpassed), so the numbers argument is again, null. We also know what causes malaria and how to prevent it. It is funded heavily by the west. " I'd rather thr antibody test shows the infection rate is much higher... as if more have had it and survived it lowers the mortality rate etc. They need to test people that had the nasty viral infection late last year as I'm pretty sure that was the early stages | |||

"What do we think? Is the virus slowly going to disappear? Or come back with a vengance?" We can only hope more people than present predictions state have been exposed and have produced antibodies. We can only hope those antibodies have a long lifeline. We can only hope that govt strategies of squashing the curve via 2m, hand hygiene and shielding the vulnerable will keep subsequent waves low until population has been achieved if it's possible. Our last hopes rely on treatment and vaccines discovered, and that the unstable RNA mutates into a mild strain, even if it means it joins the collection of CV cold viruses. | |||

"Surely the threat to society is not about when to end lockdown, whether there will be a second, third or fourth wave or even whether a vaccine will be developed for cv-19, the far more insidious threat is what will be the next disease? Given humanities appetite to consume natural resources, to encroach and extend ourselves at the rate we are and viral abilities to mutate and transfer, it is likely more than ever, new contagious events will no longer be generations away. " My thoughts. Fortunately scientists are thus aware and are researching in this area. It would be good once all economies bounced back to an adequate level if all countries fund this research because it is of benefit of all mankind. | |||

However, at a holistic level with a longer-term horizon (e.g. 10+ years) risk assessment and ‘appropriate’ management of our behaviour as national and a global societies will be crucial for maintaining human sustainability | |||
