Downgrading doesn’t reduce C19 seriousness
By the Government no longer classing Covid-19 as an HCID does not mean it isn’t dangerous or serious – it’s just that it no longer meets the closely-defined criteria for an HCID.

The measures taken to introduce social distancing and self isolation have been carefully considered at a population level.

It’s “a technical classification”
