Coronavirus could kill 85,000 people in UK in 'worst case scenario' winter
A LEAKED SAGE report says that coronavirus could see 85,000 deaths in a "worst case scenario" second wave this Winter - but experts have slammed the model as "implausible".
However, it states that the government's tracing, isolation and quarantine measures will only be 40% effective at stopping the spread of the virus outside households. And Nigel Edwards, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust health think tank, told the BBC that the "wide ranges" of scenarios suggested in the report could make it "difficult for people to work out exactly what they should be doing".At the beginning of the year, Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London warned that some 500,000 Brits could die from Covid-19 without an immediate lockdown.
