    Further evidence that the government is allowing, even encouraging, the spread of this Coronavirus, in order to work towards herd immunity. However subtly they are trying to go about it (possibly to avoid causing further panic).

    It takes around six weeks for this virus to clear out of persons system. People only quarantining for 2 weeks will therefore still have the virus and after leaving quarantine, will spread it further. These, will apparently, be the guinea pigs used for the building of herd immunity while resources (e.g. testing kits and NHS staff etc.) are reserved for severe cases. Smart move if it works. Potentially catastrophic if it doesn't, as the WHO have suggested tests, tests, test, be carried out in order for each nation to know what it is they're dealing with. If this governments plan to build herd immunity fails, with this lack of testing, it would be left in a position of having no idea what it is dealing with.
    They have to get enough of us infected before closing everything down. It's an intricate balancing act.

    The chief medical advisor has said :

    Limiting deaths to 20,000 would be a win (this means over 2 million infections at 3% cmr)
    We should see infection rates fall after 2-3 weeks.

    Extrapolate out and you have the end of the week UK PLC is closed for 2 weeks.

      In Germany they are preparing for the crisis by stocking up with sausage and cheese.

      That's for the Wurst Käse scenario.

          How many of those who are now complaining about this Tory government, voted for them at the last GE?

          I didn't vote for them, and think Boris is a tossa, but hey ho, the people spoke so the people can reap it's rewards

                  It's not mutually exclusive to vote for somebody and complain - in fact it's necessary even when not being in a bent 2 party system like the one still present in UK.

                  People who actually love the politicians or the Govt they helped elected need to get a few visits to a psychiatrist ASAP.

                    I wonder if there is a proper research paper to this:
                    What we scientists have discovered about how each age group spreads Covid-19 | Petra Klepac | Opinion | The Guardian

                    Summary of article:
                    The number and type of social contact people have spreads diseases like flu. Depending on your age your social contact differs. Those who are in the age group 20-25 have their main social contact in the workplace, there as those 65+ have it mostly in shops, restaurants and leisure centres.

                      Any evidence for that, or are you just making it up, or something your read on soshul medjah?
