Sir John Bell: I would be very surprised if we avoided the second wave

Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine at the University of Oxford, told the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee he would be surprised if the UK avoided a second coronavirus wave. He said: “I think it is possible that we might not have a second wave. “But I think given the fact that the lockdown has now been largely released, we’re now back in action, and we have still – pretty rapidly declining – but a pretty reasonable level of infections in the community, I would be very surprised if we avoided the second wave. “I think the real question is, are we going to have a number of single outbursts around the country and then a second wave, or are we going to just get a second wave and when will that be?”
