A doctor has been alarmed by the lack of concern people have for Covid-19 despite ‘one in 40’ now having the virus. Professor Adam Finn, a doctor and member of the Joint Committee for Vaccine and Immunisation, believes that we currently have one of the most infectious strains of coronavirus.
“The virus is very much still out there and one in 40 people now have it,” he told BBC’s Today Programme on Radio 4. “Although the virus we have is less severe in terms of the chances of it landing you in hospital, it is very significantly more infectious than other variants.
“We are still confronted with a virus that is very much among us and we still have older and younger people at risk of hospitalisation.
