    They are squeezing us to see where our breaking point is:

    The BS lockdown will last until we resist it:

    Social distancing will be needed until after CHRISTMAS warns Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty as Dominic Raab dismisses calls for an exit strategy

    Disruptive social distancing measures will have to remain in place for the rest of this year, the country's Chief Medical Officer has warned.

    Professor Chris Whitty said the measures cannot be lifted until either a vaccine for Covid-19 or 'highly effective' drugs to treat the virus become available.

    He told the daily Downing Street press conference that it was 'wholly unrealistic' to expect lockdown measures to be lifted soon.

    His daunting warning came as Dominic Raab delivered a tough message to Britons wearying of the lockdown warning that the UK is still 'going through the peak' of coronavirus.

    The First Secretary said it was not the time to 'take our eye off the ball' as he rejected claims the government is preparing to ease the draconian curbs in mid-May.

    And he told the daily briefing that it will be weeks before ministers will be able to even 'think about' putting forward an exit strategy.

    Meanwhile industry body UKHospitality has warned MPs that Britain's pubs, hotels and restaurants could face a 'bloodbath' when the lockdown is lifted, with up to a third of the sector at risk of shutting.

    The organisation's chief executive Kate Nicholls wants rent payments to be deferred and the employee furlough scheme extended for premises which may have to continue social-distancing measures.

    At yesterday's briefing, Professor Whitty did not specify whether the strict 'stay at home' policy would have to be in place until Christmas and beyond.

    Other experts have suggested that some of the strictest measures, including school closures, could be eased so long as there is not a spike in coronavirus cases.
