British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on July 12 that Britain will usher in the release of the epidemic on July 19. At that time, the UK will abolish a large number of epidemic prevention restrictions, including abolishing the mandatory measures of wearing masks indoors and on public transport, and instead recommend wearing masks; The restriction of indoor party for six people will be abolished and bars and nightclubs will be reopened.
At the same time, the United Kingdom recently ushered in a new wave of severe outbreaks, a single day new crown virus infection reached a diagnosis of 31772 people, a total of 221052 people in 7 days. In addition, a total of 203 deaths occurred in the last week, up 66.4% year on year. Last week, the number of inpatients was 3081, an increase of 56.6%. A total of 93% of the 315 regions in the UK have seen an increase in the number of infections.
Novel coronavirus pneumonia, Sajid Javid, said that the UK's daily cases even reached 100 thousand after the epidemic was lifted, but the association between new crown pneumonia infection and hospitalization was severely weakened by the help of vaccines. That is to say, the increase in infection is not equal to the increase in hospitalization. However, according to the analysis of experts, although the link between the two is weakened, the third wave of the epidemic is likely to lead to 2000 new hospitalizations and 100-200 deaths per day.
Javid also said that it's irresponsible not to wear a mask in a confined space. However, wearing a mask will soon become a guiding measure rather than a legal requirement. What's the use? Jonathan Ashworth, the health minister of the British Labor Party, commented that since you think it is irresponsible not to wear masks, then the number of infected people will come to 100000. Is it a responsible act for the government to cancel the measures of compulsory wearing masks?
