Don’t do it boris! Pm warned not to put uk into nationwide lockdown

CORONAVIRUS: UK COVID-19 DEATHS INCREASE BY 224 Mr Johnson unveiled the tier system across the country in order to contain local outbreaks in England. However, with confusion surrounding the

differing rules for different areas of the country, some have called for the Prime Minister to enforce a nationwide lockdown. Amid the fear over a potential nationwide lockdown coupled with

the confusion surrounding the regulations, Express.co.uk asked in our exclusive poll, “Should Boris scrap tier system and put the entire country in full lockdown?” In response to the poll,

4,273 out of 6,052 voted against Mr Johnson scrapping the tier system and enforcing a full lockdown. Just 1,701 voted ‘yes’ while just 78 were not sure. One person said in response: “They

should do away with all the lockdowns and concentrate on protecting the vulnerable. “It's becoming more apparent from numerous experts that eventually we are going to have to rely on

the herd method despite lockdowns. You only have to listen to other world experts on the subject.” Poll: Boris Johnson urged to avoid lockdown (Image: Number 10/Getty) Coronavirus: Boris

enslave us all.” A third said: “How many more lockdowns would there be, four, five, six? “It could go on for years. Before too long there will be no economy left, it's only just ticking

along at the moment.” JUST IN: WALES LOCKDOWN 'UNLIKELY TO WORK' AS EX-HEALTH CHIEF ATTACKS PLANS Coronavirus: The poll called for Boris Johnson to refuse a lockdown (Image: PA)

socialise with anybody who they do not live with or have formed a support bubble with, in any indoor setting or in any private garden. Pubs and bars must also close although they can remain

open if they operate as a restaurant. As it stands, the Liverpool City region and parts of Lancashire including Blackburn with Darwen, Blackpool, Burnley, Chorley, Fylde, Hyndburn,

Lancaster, Pendle, Preston, Ribble Valley, Rossendale, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre are in Tier 3. DON'T MISS FURLOUGH SCAM CRISIS: £2BN OF CRUCIAL COVID FUNDS SEIZED BY GANGS

Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield will be moved into the highest level. Uproar was triggered this week following the threats to take Greater Manchester into Tier 3, with the

Greater Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham claiming they had not been given adequate support. Mr Johnson has so far refused to call a nationwide lockdown, while the Opposition has demanded a

short circuit-breaker for two to three weeks. Sir Keir has stated if the UK doesn’t do this, Britain will “sleepwalk into a bleak winter”. Coronavirus: The tier system (Image: Express)

Deputy Chief Medical Officer, professor Jonathan Van-Tam, said in response to those calls: “Pretty much everywhere in England is now heating up to some extent. “We are trying to walk a very

fine line in between getting the virus under control in areas where it is out of control while incurring the minimum amount of economic damage in doing so. “It is clear that in the areas

where it is out of control, hard measures are needed. Boris Johnson (Image: PA) RELATED ARTICLES “But do I think right now it is appropriate to insist on those similar hard measures in, for

example, the South West of England or Kent, where levels of the disease are very, very much lower than in the north of England? “To impose a national firebreak, no I don’t think that’s right

and I don’t think that’s right with the epidemiological picture we are seeing.” _THIS POLL WENT LIVE AT 8.57AM ON OCTOBER 23 AND CLOSED AT 9.33PM._ RELATED ARTICLES
