(Leaked SAGE report)
Britain could experience more than 85,000 Covid-19-related deaths during a second wave over winter in a “reasonable worst-case scenario”, the government has predicted.
The potential for a high death count from Covid-19 was put forward by the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, or Sage, in a report late last month.
