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.
Patrick Vallance still Image: Sir Patrick says most of population need to get coronavirus to achieve herd immunity The number of confirmed cases in the UK reached 590 on Thursday - up by 134 in 24 hours, although Sir Patrick believes the actual number of people infected in the UK at the moment could be between 5,000 and 10,000.
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.
Sky’s Thomas Moore explains how countries around the world are preparing to contain COVID-19
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.
凤凰网，偶尔看看就行了，别当真。
能看懂的有多少
是啊，这次的处理全世界圈粉
欧美：这次让我找找看 谁能有幸作这个女巫呢？ 就中国吧！
可是我特么就在伦敦 半个小时到海德公园 我真的吐了
大多数政府看起来不把人命当回事，还能成功洗脑群众.....
这是什么电视来着
英国人也是用这招灭绝北美原住民的吧，我死三分之一，剩下的免疫，你死99%。你的老家就是我的新英格兰啦
传说中的爱河？
可能一直就是疯子
这还是下一站是幸福里那个爸爸
有没有效，他这是拿人命去赌，必然会有一部分英国人要丧命。这是不人道的
哈哈哈哈，你给我整笑了
危险啥，最坏的结果就是大家都来一遍
每年发生一次，最后剩下的就是超人了。
当然，最后能剩下几个就不一定了。
脑回路真特么不一样
老龄化占比还能降一降！！！
英国科幻恐怖电影里早就说啦
这叫脱离尘世了
已经有人把原文发在这个帖子里了，你去找找看
那这媒体是官方吗？
这是指望靠进化来抵抗病毒啊
哈哈哈哈哈哈总结到位
角度还挺多 只能说得病的不是宁家里人 真得了 床位安排慢了 已经开喷了叭哈哈
采取主动灭亡模式，理由呢？
🐶
真的吗？我还是不敢信。
厚葬吧（ ・ω・)=つ≡つ
关键看行动啊，不限行，不检测，不取消聚集性活动，不就是等着病毒强上吗？
英国也要大清洗
凤凰网谣言网跟这个真不真有关系吗？
只要我们都染上病毒，就不怕别人传染给我们
什么意思？60%感染后就会出现群体免疫（这是什么逻辑关系）？60%感染了，会有多少转重症，多少死亡，这么草菅人命的吗？突破了我能想象的下限了。有人能帮忙解释解释吗
意思就是挖坑就一次性挖个大的，太多的小的麻烦还占地，对吧
对国人来说一般很难理解外国人的一些思维
我们生病发热咳嗽什么的，看病就是要见效
抗生素给我用最好的，见效越快越好，
很多老外是我要自己抗这个病毒，让我产生抗体以后就好了。
可以参考前两天一个武汉的英国外教在武汉自愈的新闻，
在武汉前几天自己喝蜂蜜兑水，蜜蜂加什么乱七八糟的
一直熬，不吃药，最后24天的时候好了。
我感觉被汽车撞了一下。

等等，我想想，为了让英国人获得免疫，而让病毒充分传播，使可能患病的先患上，但同时也怕患例激增而导致医疗资源紧张，所以尽量控制病毒传播速度，我想了想，好像没有什么不对🤔🤔
方舱医院的人都活下来了，现在很快乐。
英国的恐怕有很多人会“快乐”地蒙上帝召见。
处理不良资产？老弱病残不能做贡献不说还占用大量医疗养老资源，对国家是好事。英国人这么做啥都好，就一点不好——完全没人性啊！！！这些老人都是他们的父母和爷爷奶奶啊！
如果是真的这么说，那感染人多，死的人不是更多啊！哈哈
怎么少打个B呢？
那么到底检测了吗？限行了吗？禁止公众活动了吗？
说白了，他们就是不重视人民的生命权
Emmm这也圆得过来
复仇者联盟中毒了？准备让人口自然减少？
准备跑毒么兄弟
本来是不太信的………但是根据我朋友跟我讲现在在英国的情况还有先建太平间不是医院 没有措施 我懂了
新冠会帮你在英国获得抗体的，别怕，大不列颠几千万人民以及女王与你同在。
希望你被传染上那天，你还觉得有道理。
