UK Scientists '50 days on, 30 Days Off' Lockdown Until 2022 Might be the Only Way Forward

If you were wondering whether the Science coming out of the UK could get anymore ridiculous, then the answer is yes.

A 'lockdown rollover' of 50 days on and 30 days off should be introduced...until 2022, say British scientists.

An alternating 80-day cycle will reduce the number of Covid-19 deaths and admissions to intensive care units, according to new research.[1]

So it is being proposed that until further notice, a rollover of 50 days in lockdown, then 30 days out of lockdown but with social distancing rules could be the only way forward in surviving the coronapocolypse.

Lead author Dr Rajiv Chowdhury, of Cambridge University, said: "Although we did not model the situation in the UK, I would expect it to be very similar to that in other high income countries."

The study, published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, found it could save jobs, but hey - here's a novel idea - how about we just have no lockdown? There is no study required to prove that this will definitely save jobs, millions of them.

Of course, contact tracing and isolation will still apply indefinitely, because remember folks, this is the 'New Normal'.
