The Possibility of Another Lockdown in the UK

Britain’s chief scientific adviser today warned that there could be 50,000 new cases per day by mid-October if action isn't taken. Under fire for his response to the virus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is considering another, smaller lockdown to try to interrupt transmission.
