Covid: UK at 'critical point' in pandemic, top scientists to warnhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54229845
Prof Chris Whitty believes the country is facing a "very challenging winter period" and will hold a televised briefing at 11:00 BST.
At the briefing, Prof Whitty will be joined by the government's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance, to present the latest data.
Prof Whitty is expected to say: "We are looking at the data to see how to manage the spread of the virus ahead of a very challenging winter period."
The two scientists are expected to explain how the virus is spreading and the potential scenarios as the winter approaches.

People are starting to go a bit crazy now. It wasn't so bad in the Spring and Summer. But the long Autumn nights in yet another lockdown will drive many nuts. Plus some of us are bound to get colds and maybe flu. Then you have sleepless nights worrying it's Covid.It's not so bad if you have an income but without furlough many will be really anxious.

The contributor says "Lancashire going into lockdown with the exception of Blackpool??? This was Blackpool last night! no social distancing anywhere, no masks worn in any amusements or shop...it’s a joke! I took these pictures myself so before anyone says it clever angles etc - it isn’t."
Morons .....
And of course, that decision demonstrates without any doubt in my mind that the authorities haven't a clue what to do!
They lock down relatively safe places and ignore behaviour like this in others. They seem to be totally without logic.
A good friend of ours who lives in Clitheroe, Lancashire is annoyed that his area - largely open countryside with a low incidence of Covid - is to be locked down from tomorrow, yet here we have Blackpool which is not a million miles away from him which isn't!
