COVID-19: Seasonal viruses and coronavirus could leave NHS unable to cope this winter, scientists warn

COVID-19: Seasonal viruses and coronavirus could leave NHS unable to cope this winter, scientists warn As many as 60,000 people could die from flu this winter and a combination of seasonal viruses and COVID-19 could leave the NHS unable to cope , according to a report. The stark warning was made by scientists who say the flu season could be particularly deadly but the enhanced flu jab programme and rapid tests for flu could help to mitigate the risks. COVID-19 restrictions meant that many respiratory viruses were not able to spread last winter as they normally would and this has concerned some virologists who say population immunity to seasonal respiratory illnesses might be compromised.

Experts said that if left unchecked, the flu season could be particularly deadly this year but a series of measures could help mitigate the risks including the enhanced flu jab programme and rapid tests for flu. The new report warned that a mix of Covid-19, influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), could put severe strain the NHS this winter.

Act now or NHS could be overwhelmed this winter, report warns

Last modified on Thu 15 Jul 2021 07.40 EDT Covid and flu threaten to push the NHS to breaking point this winter unless major precautions are taken over the summer, according to a report commissioned by the government’s chief scientific adviser. Sir Patrick Vallance asked the Academy of Medical Sciences to assess how the “triple whammy” of coronavirus, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) might affect the NHS in the winter and to make recommendations on how best to protect the health service. The report brought together by 29 experts, with input from a patient and care group, warned that hospitalisations and deaths from influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) could be double those seen in a normal year, leading to as many as 60,000 flu deaths and 40,000 children in hospital with RSV as the health service continues to battle Covid.
