Covid 19 long term

[holywell farmer]

This virus will be in the uk for months, I just hope the British people realise there will not be a quick fix for covid 19' I think restrictions will be lifted in stages and the uk might have to prepare for a second wave hitting in the winter.

No the second wave needs to be here and gone before normal winter pressures.

from what the BBC news has been saying a big peak in may is due, if the uk have a bad peak I can't see restrictions being lifted till October

Dont watch their news as all they do is spread doom and gloom.
BUT as we have had semi lockdown for a week, those who had just been infected could now be giving it to others they are living with, according to figures I have seen death is normally about 14 days from first symptoms so allowing for 14 days max for first symptoms to show that would mean peak deaths in around 3 weeks

It will be cyclical, each following cycle being less bad than the last, until it peters out.
