UK Reportedly Draws Up Secret Assessment of Coronavirus Perils as New Tiering System Looms Large
The newly proposed tiering system will see Great Britain be divided into as many as three types of zones depending on the tally of coronavirus cases and respective mortality levels each region clocks.
The UK government has produced a secret forecast outlining the overall impact of the coronavirus infection on the economy, rating a string of sectors as "red", which implies severe job losses and dips in revenues, The Times reported citing the 48-page document. The latter offers "granular" detail on the impact of the raging pandemic sector by sector – "a deep dive" into almost 40 economic areas in total.
Among the "red" sectors are the automotive industry, aerospace, retail, tourism, sports, arts and heritage, and a number of others. The remaining fields analyzed are painted amber or green, suggesting the "overall trend" for them is the least depressing.
"There is a lot of detail in there, none of which is in the official impact assessment the government has published today", a minister familiar with the document told The Times, despite a government spokesman referring to it as one containing only open source information and "not altering the fundamental analysis published today".
