Exclusive: Public Health England document seen by Guardian says four in five expected to contract virus
The coronavirus epidemic in the UK will last until next spring and could lead to 7.9 million people being hospitalised, a secret Public Health England (PHE) briefing for senior NHS officials reveals.
The document, seen by the Guardian, is the first time health chiefs tackling the virus have admitted that they expect it to circulate for another 12 months and lead to huge extra strain on an already overstretched NHS.
It also suggests that health chiefs are braced for as many as 80% of Britons becoming infected with the coronavirus over that time.
Prof Chris Whitty, the governments chief medical adviser, has previously described that figure as the worst-case scenario and suggested that the real number would turn out to be less than that. However, the briefing makes clear that four in five of the population are expected to contract the virus.
The document says that: As many as 80% of the population are expected to be infected with Covid-19 in the next 12 months, and up to 15% (7.9 million people) may require hospitalisation.

Im only brainstorming here, but I think there are 4 things that made covid-19 more deadly in Italy. They are:
1. Population density.
2. % of population who are heavy smokers.
3. Heavy atmospheric pollution.
4. The Italian leather industry depending on cheap Chinese labor.
I believe that the above factors made coronavirus especially virulent in Italy. Just a theory.

You nailed it...but, but, but, Newton Gingrich is way more smarter than you...not. and he’s BFF with Nanzi Pelouzy
I was wondering about air pollution as that appears to have been a factor in Wuhan.
Where are you getting your information on air pollution in northern Itsly?
No, the critical care rate is not the same the youth, not even close. Why are you just making up stuff? This thing basically attacks your ability to breath / Mets, and youth have far more capability than elderly and those with severe preexisting conditions.
Spring 2021?
A whole YEAR??
...an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, ...
This can’t happen until after the church has been raptured.
It’s northern Italy. They smoke the same or less than us, and their air pollution is low.
UK Coronavirus Crisis ‘to Last Until Spring 2021 and Could See 7.9M Hospitalised’

Have heard it was the older age demographics in Italy.
There are three lines of thought on this...

I’ll do that!
That doesn’t sound suspicious to me at all. Just happened to drop that memo out of my just as I was walking past the Editor’s office at the Guardian. The memo was based on the most accurate assessment we could make against the conservative party.

This is a horrible virus, and extremely dangerous
sorry I have not seen anything ‘horrible’ or the ‘extreme danger’! In some regions having other difficulties and on the individual.
Of course there are, just like there are many distortions of the Gospel (Mormonism, SDA, HRC, etc.), but only the true one that follows the Gospel is correct.
