Why you can trust Sky News Millions of Britons will need to contract coronavirus in order to control the impact of the disease which is likely to return "year on year", the government's chief scientific adviser has told Sky News.
Around 60% of the UK population will need to become infected with coronavirus in order for society to have "herd immunity" from future outbreaks, Sir Patrick Vallance said.
Herd immunity is the resistance to a contagious disease within a population because enough people have become immune, and so it is harder for it to spread.
There is currently no vaccine available for coronavirus.
So far, 10 people in the UK who have had COVID-19 - the disease which develops from coronavirus - have died.

Sir Patrick described COVID-19 as a "nasty disease" but stressed most people would only experience a "mild" illness.

"We think this virus is likely to be one that comes year on year, becomes like a seasonal virus," he told Sky News.
"Communities will become immune to it and that's going to be an important part of controlling this longer term.
"About 60% is the sort of figure you need to get herd immunity."
What are the four stages of government's plan? What are the four stages of government's plan? Despite suggestions the death rate from coronavirus could be around 1% of those infected, Sir Patrick said estimating how many might die was "difficult" because there may be many more people that haven't been detected yet.
"That's why some of the new tests that are being developed now are going to be so important, so we can really understand how this disease is spreading and we don't have a handle on that yet," he added.

How to contain a global pandemic The World Health Organisation has declared a global pandemic following the spread of coronavirus across many countries.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday confirmed the government is entering the second phase of its response to COVID-19 - moving from trying to contain the virus to delaying its spread.
Anyone with a new persistent cough or a high temperature will now have to self-isolate and stay at home for seven days, while schools have been urged to cancel planned trips abroad.
Sir Patrick is helping to oversee the government's response to coronavirus and defended the UK's strategy in dealing with the disease.
Prime minister Boris Johnson has called the coronavirus pandemic 'the worst public health crisis in a generation'.
PM: Those with symptoms should isolate for seven days Ministers are facing growing questions about why the UK isn't acting in a similar way to other European countries, such as France and Italy, who have taken measures ranging from banning large gatherings to quarantining the entire population.
Sir Patrick said the UK is "a little bit behind" where the coronavirus outbreak is in other countries due to early action in tracing and isolating those who are infected.
"What we don't want to do is to get into kneejerk reactions where you have to start doing measures at the wrong pace because something's happened," he added.
"So we're trying to keep ahead of it, we're trying to lay out the path so people can see what the actions are that are being advised."

Sir Patrick also described Thursday's action taken by Mr Johnson as "a very big measure", adding: "It's going to have quite a big impact across a number of people, a number of households, a number of people.
"I don't think that's a trivial measure at all."
Banning mass gatherings and isolating entire households are the next steps being considered by the government, Sir Patrick revealed.
But, he argued, most of the transmission of coronavirus occurs in small gatherings rather than larger gatherings.

确实，原文，需要上百万人感染才能获得群体免疫
看第一段就好了。need to infected给我看傻了
而且年轻人也特么没脑子，自己总有老的那天，也是真的不怕将来另一场疫情自己也被放弃
我问了我好几个在英同学了……是真的……我尼玛人傻了……
把你头像给我交了
我国科学家不是怀疑新冠病毒会伤害男性生殖系统吗？英国打算让英国……绝种吗？
回来吧。办休学。跟国家说明情况，国家会带你离开的。命都快没了。呆个毛🇬🇧
沃日，你说了我才发现，真是🐮🍺
冠状病毒成为弟弟
死亡率和传染率应该只能高一个
额，那你和英国政府一样头铁……人在英国，和你说这是真的。每天都是新增人数创新高但测试的人越来越少，真的好想回国啊，这政府真不把人当人，钱比人重要啊。卫生部长说口罩没有没病别带，多洗手，洗手的时候唱生日快乐歌，这样就能达到杀死病毒的时长，结果她先被感染了，可能是她没唱够时间吧？就这政府还继续头铁，学校都有好几个确诊了还三天内四封邮件给我们说跟随政府一切照旧，连教授博士们都无所谓觉得就是普通流感，和我说口罩没有用。我和他们说你们看看意大利什么样了，他们回复我意大利就是过度恐慌……英国官方医疗机构说，口罩在医院有很重要的作用，然后在医院外没有，热评第一是：口罩是能分辨在不在医院吗？真的可笑至极
应该比武汉的比例要低吧。
英国不知道这病没有免疫力，得过还会再得吗？
诺贝尔一条街，开玩笑呢
这样他们自己是舒服了，都产生了抗体，以后会害死其他国家，尤其是我们这种成功防住的国家
然而有证据表明有些人不会产生抗体
怎么做到说出这么恐怖的话还带着狗头的
思路是牺牲一部分人利益保障大多数人利益
我很好奇，在这个形成群体免疫力过程中的重症患者死就死了？形成后的倒霉蛋死就死了吗。是这个意思吗？
这不就是啥都不干嘛。。。。
，，，我丢，好可怕，，，
。。。。。外国也救呀。他们的意思也有一点点道理，建立在他们不作为的基础上的话，迟早病毒还会传回来。。防疫总有松懈的时候。
刚停了
卧槽，什么水平？😲😲😲😲😲
再也不需要学英文了😭
太难了
那叫自然淘汰，活下来的不就都有免疫力了吗，所以英国准备加紧造万人坑埋尸体呢。就是不知道要要多少个万人坑才够用。
英国的重症应该会比整个中国加起来都多。
我很好奇你这个头像竟然能过审？
别扯了
如此不要脸的操作……
原本以为武汉和黑石那些已经够不要脸了，现在真的刷新我的认知了。。。
法国投降我觉得没什么好奇怪的
那你不是很危险？
别把全中国带上，方舱医院在武汉。
B站有约翰逊的发言，还需要找一个首席健康官的解释，基本上说媒体演绎吧，英国民众就是这么理解昨天的话，youtube下面一片骂，上来就是这次很严重，很多家庭都要失去亲爱的人，结果根本没措施，讲什么群体免疫。
再权威再正规的媒体他也是媒体，请问“官方”两个字到底懂不懂？要不要再看看楼主起的标题？
我们还没消灭这病毒吧
这不换来了“自由”权了吗🐶
头像交出来不举报你
大英帝国启动新人类计划！
买赎罪卷的优先纳入幸存名单。
99%的名额大甩卖啦
头像牛b
就是要钱不要命罢了
可是这样不就等于物竞天择了吗。。
想象一下飞沫传播的狂犬病
我跟英国同事一起工作了5年了，发现他们有时候就特别理性，甚至到让人惊讶的程度，所以我觉得可能是权衡利弊下最优的策略了。在1月20号的时候同事就跟我说，最终中国感染的人数应该在10万人左右。
我觉得你们这些玩造谣式辟谣以及破口大骂式反对的人，要么就是收钱办事，要么就是被美分洗脑洗傻了。
如果是前者当我没和你说过话……但如果是后者，当你们知道这是真的的时候，你们会不会三观崩塌？
希望微博知乎上的公知们看到大英帝国如此，能继续冷抖哭，能继续发挥一下他们刁钻的挖苦能力。可惜他们应该会理客中，分析一波历史上均是如此，数据图表罗列上去，所以大英没毛病。
英国的重症太多了，方舱医院肯定比不过，把全中国加上都比不过。
没免疫的死光了剩下的不就都免疫了🐶
吓人
全民健身啊 牛逼了
英国政府肯定想：只要有了抗体管他后遗症呢？
关皮皮的爸爸🐶
他给宋茜当了两次爹
目瞪口呆……明明是适者生存，生死由天，老子对疫情撒手不管了，还能被说成让多数英国人获得“群体免疫力”，不得不说，英语也挺博大精深的
可以给一个国内可以打开的链接吗？哈哈，我要发到我群里给大家看看
相当于南方日报？
意思就是全国割一遍，死了的就死了，残了的就残了，剩下的就都上岸了，全国人一起买彩票，拼运气。这些平时满口仁义道德的虚伪鬼佬终于露出了残酷无情的本来面目。
