Boris Johnson doet er niet moeilijk over.
Zegt tegen het volk : leer maar met het virus te leven en accepteer aam dat er doden vallen
Gaat er vanuit dat in slechte voorgaande griepjaren er in het slechtste jaar 50.000 doden vielen te betreuren aan de griep.
Derhalve gaat hij pas over tot maatregelen bij meer dan 50.000 doden volgend jaar.
Boris Johnson is 'willing to accept up to 50,000 Covid deaths a year before reintroducing draconian lockdown curbs', Government advisers claim
>>Government advisers claim there is a threshold for reintroducing restrictions
>>They said PM has accepted there would be 30,000+ Covid deaths in next year
>>Downing Street has rejected the suggestion it has an 'acceptable' level of deaths
Boris Johnson will only reimpose coronavirus restrictions if the number of deaths is heading for more than 50,000 a year, it was claimed today.
The Prime Minister has reportedly privately accepted that there could be 30,000 or more Covid-19 deaths in the next 12 months.
Government advisers told the i newspaper that they believed an acceptable level of deaths had been set at approximately 1,000 a week.
Downing Street has outright rejected the claim, insisting: 'There is no set number of acceptable deaths from Covid. This claim is categorically untrue.'
They said the focus should be to bring deaths down to levels comparable with flu — which kills roughly 17,000 people in England annually and up to 50,000 in a bad year.
That sentiment was hinted at by ministers who said when the final restrictions were lifted that the UK will have to learn to live with the virus.
Michael Gove, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, said at the time that while ministers need to do 'everything we can to protect people', it was important for the public to 'accept' that there would continue to be Covid deaths after rules were eased.
