UK medical chief warns 'many thousands to be infected' with coronavirus across country - follow live

England’s deputy chief medical officer has said the UK will see “many thousands of people” contract coronavirus., with all public gatherings cancelled and schools and universities closed.

Bit late to warn against travel to Italy isn't it? The place was put in to quarantine before our government got its finger out of its arse, and even then BA took the lead.

😷👍🇬🇧😁

I think many more have been infected but don’t show the systems. A simple check would be to check the handles on trolleys and baskets in Supermarkets for the virus. Waiting for people to ask is passive and too late and won’t give a proper picture of the spread

How many flu cases a year? There was 17 thousand deaths in the UK even with so called vaccines so why the hysteria as if a vaccine is the difference in calming those freaking out down?!

Sure it's not brain hypoxia

In Italy we make tests, for that reason we find people with Covid19. We have protocols for more of 1 month, I’ve been in London 3 weeks ago and I didn’t see ANY security protocol in bus, tube, pubs... NOTHING. Irresponsible madness

We’re on the same trajectory path as Italy. The only difference is time.

And still it’s just “wash your hands”!!!

Your government don't care about you. The sooner you watch their game, the better.

Is the UK prepared? Politicians are not and have no clue. COVID2019uk Nigel_Farage Any more brilliant ideas from which you'll then walk off? £350m per week will go a long way in NHSuk theresa_may where are you hiding? BorisJohnson are we still at 2 happy birthdays?

The experience of coronavirus suggests that medical science and medical practice should become an international affair!

Essential travel? The risk is deadly.

Almost as if they ignored what China was going through
