But it is too soon to say when social distancing rules will be relaxed, the health secretary says.
Lets hope that someone investigates the cronyism and corruption in the Tory party ASAP.

Cronyism is not solely linked to the Conservative party. Remember when senior Labour party members were side-lined e.g. Tom Watson.
Do you really think that this just applied to the Tories
It's all parties

What design is yours Barrie?
Can we include people who are ugly on the inside too please. I'm sure you'll find plenty of company.
well we can all be sure you'll be wearing one forever.
Trolling is so much fun. You can see from the replies who doesn't have a sense of humour.
Whether you agree or disagree with the 'road map' you have to play your part. If not, don't complain, it was your choice.
Prof Whitty keeps talking about an acceptable level of deaths and refers to the 20,000 a year that society has accepted for flu.
I just worry that as soon as deaths start creeping up next winter that the snowflakes, the Brexiteers and the woke will start bleating on social media about a few thousand deaths and the government will cave in again and start adding further restrictions. Removed

A crass, ill thought out rant which clearly excludes you.... there are plenty of really good re- education courses available now!!
Its bound to happen, we are ruled by the militant left now. 2 deaths and they will point to Australia and demand a full lockdown
Do you know anyone who has died of flu. I don't and over a million have died of it in my lifetime
Easy to see YOU have not been personally affected by the death of a loved one.
Selfish selfish selfish.
May you live in interesting times.

Actually 5,000-20,000. 20,000 very much a worst case. Could be lower still if everyone took flu jab if offered. Your attempt at distorting facts to your agenda is very transparent.
Surprised you didn't include Thatcher in your pointless rant. A Stonemason would need about a day to knock that chip off your shoulder
you seem confused.
Your broader point is accurate, we can't live in an environment where the only acceptable number of deaths is zero.
Let's hope the Media take Whitty's comments into account and don't scaremonger the population during seasons that are affected by an increase of respiratory deaths.

What has this got to do with Brexit? I think that you will find that most of the Tory backbenchers supporting an earlier exit from lockdown than suggested by the PM were also the ones pushing for a really hard Brexit. I don't understand 'snowflake' or 'woke' as a description of people but take it you mean lily-livered pansies
Lol, why are you attempting to politicise Covid, what's your agenda. Your assertion that those who have a different political outlook to you are somehow to blame says more about you than anything else.
You used that word "snowflake", so i stopped reading...
...presumably you'll be OK if your friends and family are among the "acceptable" deaths.
You're mistaken "the woke", as you call them, are actually the sociopaths who are ignoring restrictions and care little about deaths of elderly and infirm. Its a strange paradox.
" I just worry that as soon as deaths start creeping up next winter that the snowflakes, the Brexiteers and the woke............" You sound like a snowflake to me.
some morons just HAVE to try to drag Bexit into everything don't they

So these days if you care about people dying, it's because you're woke? You have a strange value-system.
Mr Handoncock we have played our part for the last year, jumped through all your hoops, chased all the moving goalposts and ALLOWED you to remove our human rights and liberties. We have also looked on whilst you muddled your way through. We will just carry on obeying. Now it's your turn to put and end to this.

It's a cold, it's a problem for the NHS. Most people can do their bit without going oveboard and making it out to be some major catastrophe
If you're in good health and under 60 it's no biggie
Unconstrained, only 1% of people would die, most already near the end of their lives anyway
All the restrictions are just to protect the underfunded NHS

It's not ebola, but it's also not a cold. Covid really isn't that deadly but it will still hospitalise a lot of people and that's the main problem. If hospitals get swamped, that inevitably will diminish treatment for patients with other conditions as staff and other resources are diverted.
Does NHS funding need a major review after this? Yes. But it doesn't change the problem we face now.

If you don't control it, it would easily spread to everyone in a short space of time. 1% of the UK population is 676,000 people. That's more than the size of Sheffield dead.
5-10% of cases are hospitalised. That's around 5 million hospitalised. In the UK we only have 170,000 hospital beds. Even if we had as many per capita as Japan (#1) this would be 700,000. And that's ALL beds, not ICU.

Add those that blatantly refuse, let alone understand, basic scientific facts... such as yourself.
The main issue is that none of us know whether we're in the 1% or the 99% - until then we need to look at the bigger picture and have some sense of doing things for the greater good.
I take it you are not on the list for any major surgery or treatment. Yes true Covid is no more than a cold to the vast majority but sadly hospitals full of sick over 60s with Covid means there is no room/capacity for other treatments so plenty of "healthy" under 60s also die. Unconstrained maybe only 1% would die directly but another x% would die indirectly due to being unable to get care.
If it only kills 1% of people then why does it have a 3% case-fatality rate in the UK?
At 1%, of the 9,420 people that were included in yesterdays figures as having tested positive, 942 can be expected to go on to die. At the 3% we're actually recording, that number is 2,826.
Attitudes like this are the reason we've spent the first two months of 2021 in lockdown.

April: more places to open up, more new UK covid babies will be born and grow stronger
May: Encourage more to meet up and kiss kiss
June: Do as you like

What has cummings got to do with it? Was he infected and then got on a train to and from Scotland? Did he go on a pub crawl with his mates after sitting on sky for weeks lecturing everyone for not following the rules, did he tell everyone to not go anywhere at Xmas and then gono holiday to Antigua? But then he did help deliver brexit that enabled early vaccination so let's just bang on about him

It’s in times like this we should rue the divisions that have been sown for a long time by powers that be who profit from them (e.g. media outlets and past/present politicians).
Many problems right now with getting everyone on board and looking out for one another stems from a society where we just fight and blame each other rather than cooperate, but those sowing divisions are most at fault.

Sacked? By whom, and for what? If politicians were sacked for lying, parliament would be empty. You can cast your vote in May 2024, but based on Labour's recent performance, prepare to be disappointed.

You know what the problem is with your silly view is, why would they want to do that, why would they deliberately put millions out of work to get less tax, why would they try to burden the NHS for more control. the government have actually lost control of a vast swathe of the uk economy, workers and income due to covid, your statement is pathetic and to be honest you need re educating...
We've one of the highest Covid death rates in Europe and Hancock blames the people.
PATHETIC.

The whole program fails if various groups in society don't get on board and accept that vaccination is the ONLY way out of this sorry sage in world history.
If Boris had balls, he would tell these groups the truth, get vaccinated or face the consequences of not going out in public places and potentially dying of Covid
Non vaccinated people are the biggest threat to lifting restrictions - FACT

FACT only (and regrettably) 120,000 have dies not 60 million even though most of us have had covid. 1918 version killed 228,000 (out of 40M). Now we have a vaccine too.
Covid kills very very few. To act - as Johnson does - as if kills tens of millions is yet another massive Johnson ERROR. His error - not covid - may itself kill millions.
He is incapable of telling the TRUTH. He must go.

The debate about the future seems to largely ignore how extremely effective the vaccinations are against severe disease (which is ultimately the problem with coronavirus). The chance of overwhelming hospitals will almost certainly vanish by the end of summer, never to return
So, we're all in prison for another four months, for no reason at all. We reached herd immunity months ago and the virus died out weeks ago. The vulnerable are vaccinated, there are no cases, everyone’s had it and the disease was harmless to nearly everyone anyway. 70 million people locked up for one year = one million people locked up for life – how does he get away with it?

With his, ‘everyone must play a part’, Hancock is just preparing to blame the public if the Lockdown exit goes wrong. We’re still waiting for him to explain why we should be grateful for his handling of PPE contracts, many of which went to cronies with no experience of providing PPE and who failed to deliver.

It's pretty obvious.. if you are driven by data then the pendulum should swing both ways.. if the figures are better than this model the dates should be brought forward.
