Coronavirus crisis could see 7.9m hospitalized: UK

British daily The Guardian reached the secret document of the Public Health England, a government executive agency, which shows that up to 80 percent of the British will get COVID-19, of which 15 percent, or 7.9 million, will require hospitalization.

The report states that the epidemic will severely burden British health and service. In addition, estimates say that as many as 500,000 out of  5 million people working in “key services and significant infrastructure” can get sick. In addition, the data shows that it may not be possible to examine all people with symptoms because laboratories cannot cope with this number.

What's more, everything will happen over 12 months, because the final of the epidemic is to take place in the spring of 2021.
