One thing that I rarely see mentioned is the context for a "herd immunity" style strategy of doing nothing at all about the pandemic In particular, how long will it take?

Now, obviously, epidemics don't work quite like that. Without restrictions, we would expect the number of new infections to grow which would reduce the total time it takes to infect 40% of Britain

Even so, I think it's worthwhile to note that the time period to get back to "normal" if you relax all restrictions is not tomorrow, nor next week, but in all likelihood months or even years

About twice as long as protective immunity is expected to last.
