MPs warned that we will be living with coronavirus for 'many, many years to come' as Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty defends lockdown decisions.

Mi Cassidy:

Why ain't we kicking china for this? Why ain't they paying us for what they have did to our economy and way of life? This was man made and came from a lab due to poor handling and safety measures. But we tip toe around things ohh it may have this and that get some backbone gov and get things sorted.

Dave Morgan:

Only roughly 15% of common colds are caused by coronavirus, 40-50% by rhinoviruses.

Lee Miller:

Businesses cannot survive these draconian measures indefinitely. The new normal is really a “temporary normal”. It’s not like the echo to be negative though.

Sarah Louise Fairclough:

It'll probably be like the cold and flu and be in 'season' every year

Shell Bone:

Be around for years to come that’s because covid is just another flu strain but more stronger version for elderly and low immune

Andrew Evans:

Despite the soon to be ready fasttracked vaccines? It's really time folk wake up.

Shaun Sayers:

Correct me if I am wrong, but the only illness that we are no longer living with is small pox. Just because it still “exists” doesn’t mean it will affect everyday life.

Craig Bresnen:

Hopefully not which way we living now waiting in ques and wearing masks everywhere

Elaine Johnson:

I know it has claimed many lives and that is terrible. However many more recover from it and we need to look at percentages.

Tom Cameron:

Only the deaths in hospital should be counted

Denise Mcgarry:

Mick Palmer:
