Yeah this is what I read Milkfloat and others have been talking about.
The major flaw is in the second paragraph above. If and when we "let" it rip through the country, well over a million would have died in UK, as I
explained previously. How on earth, as a leader of the country, do you explain your "result" to your countrymen and the world at large, when c3000 died in China with a population of 1.4 billions?
I am also aware of the argument that ok once it is controlled in one country, it can come back in waves. Indeed it can. For example, they identified 9 in Hongkong today, but 6 were everybody in a group who came back from holiday in Egypt (think about that - country is hardly ever mentioned regrading the virus), one other is a Cathay Pacific air hostess on their flight. What that means, is that foreign travels, between destination countries of questionable status, will never be the same again. The wider implication, is that the way people travel, work, conduct their daily business, monitoring their health etc. will all have to adapt and change until a vaccine is found and become widely available. The only alternative, since it would overwhelm ICU capacity, is 5% or more of the population dead. The choice is kind of simple...
I loved them. That was almost before curry really got popular.
