Brits should return to wearing face masks to avoid the return of
lockdown restrictions this winter, according to an expert.
Latest figures show the number of infections across England increased by
a quarter while hospitalisations have surged to more than one million
across the UK in the last week.
The jump has caused fears the country is already experiencing the start
of a winter wave as millions sign up for Covid boosters.
To avoid the return of nightmare scenarios such as lockdowns Martin >Michaelis, professor of Molecular Medicine at the University of Kent,
says there may have to be a return to wearing face masks.
Emotional minute's silence held at Covid inquiry as grieving families
demand answers

He explained: If we want to reduce the likelihood that formal
restrictions will have to be re-introduced to prevent a collapse of the >healthcare sector, it is a good idea to still follow wherever possible
the rules that we have become familiar with, in particular in crowded,
poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
One thing we have learnt during the pandemic is that face masks reduce
the transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
Therefore, wearing face masks, for example, in supermarkets and on
public transport reduces the spread of all respiratory illnesses.
Also, washing your hands regularly reduces the transmission of
infectious diseases.
If you experience the symptoms of a respiratory illness (e.g. runny
nose, sore throat, cough, headache, body aches, fatigue, high
temperature), it is a good idea to stay away from others to break the >infection chain.

If this is not possible, wearing a face mask reduces the likelihood you >infect others.
What we do not know is whether a new variant will be more or less
severe than the Omicron subvariants.
If a variant evolves that combines the immune escape properties and the >transmissibility of Omicron with the deadliness of Delta, we may see a >substantial wave with many hospitalisations and deaths again.
In the worst case this may result in the re-introduction of some >restrictions, if hospitals fill again up beyond their capacity limits.
Reassuringly, he added the return of lockdowns is unlikely - but not >impossible.
He added the best defence continues to be vaccines and urged people to
get their boosters.

Professor Michaelis added: We know the protection provided by vaccines
wanes over time.
Thus, everyone, who is eligible, should come forward and get an
additional COVID-19 booster.
Although these boosters cannot prevent every infection, they provide
high protection from severe disease and reduce Covid-19 spread.

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19
) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
