UK Coronavirus LIVE: Covid vaccine for Queen as record cases and deaths mean ‘lockdown needs to be stricter’


England’s third national lockdown needs to be made “stricter", scientists have said, as the number of coronavirus cases and deaths across the UK continues to hit record highs.
Professor Robert West, a participant in the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours (SPI-B), said the current restrictions are “still allowing a lot of activity which is spreading the virus”.
He told the BBC: “Because we have the more infectious variant, which is somewhere around 5 per cent more infectious than last time round in March, that means that if we were to achieve the same result as we got in March we would have to have a stricter lockdown, and it’s not stricter. It’s actually less strict."
His warnings came as the Government launched a hard-hitting campaign, led by Boris Johnson and Chris Whitty, warning that “people will die” if the public do not obey lockdown rules.

5%? What happened to 70%? Typo or updated estimate on the variant's transmissibility?

5%? What happened to 70%?

a typo I'd guess....

It's estimated to likely be around 55%, the 70% the media reported was the absolute maximum is could possibly be (which obviously they chose to go with for max effect)
