Are we expecting another peak in the winter?
The virus lives longer indoors in winter, because the air is less humid than outside. While it's alive and in the air, it's easy for people to inhale it, or for it to land on the eyes, nose, or mouth.

The experts across the world say yes
 
Story in the Guardian stating that home testing kits 'ran out today'.... lies. I can vouch that they were out of stock yesterday and also the several times I tried in the seven days preceeding.

It’s astonishing that most oap’s I see are not wearing any form of protection just going about their daily business. I’ve just popped into the supermarket there most have been over a dozen in there over 70 years of age and counted 1 trying to protect himself they don’t seem arsed, can only see this virus being around a long long time and the death rate going through the roof in the weeks/ months to come

The masks most people are wearing offer them virtually no protection whatsoever.
They are being recommended to protect the rest of us from the wearer.

Who are these experts? Only seen the cancer specialist fella Sikora say that, and even then he said it was just a hunch.

To be fair to him, I don't even think he said as much as that. All he said is that it was perfectly feasible as being something that might happen, but he didn't really put forward his own opinion either way.

He gets a lot of hard time on twitter from people who want to argue with every positive thing he says. If he's saying something which is blatantly wrong then fair enough but feel some of the criticism which I've seen is harsh, it's ok to be positive and its ok not to call everything perfectly.

Wow!
328 died in care home settings in England, Wales and Northrn Ireland.
101 more than the 227 that died in UK hospitals (and care homes in Scotland).
A grand total of 545.
Clearly, like hospitals, deaths in care home settings are not reported very well over the weekend - though we haven't a clue as to when or where these deaths happened.
