    Prof. Devi Sridhar Retweeted Bloomberg

    I've been talking to other academics, science journalists, private companies, & gov't people all of today and still struggling to understand this. The gov't seems to be following flu playbook strategy. But this is not the flu. COVID-19 is much worse & health outcomes are soberinghttps://twitter.com/business/status/1238412764777009152 …

    LATEST: The U.K. government’s strategy to tackle the outbreak will need almost 40 million Britons to catch the disease to work, according to the country’s top scientific adviser https://trib.al/uYQuxDU

        Are they simply conceding 3% of the population?

        1/@PIH believes #mitigatingCOVID is NOT enough!! #flatteningthecurve is NOT enough. We cannot accept this idea that the ONLY way to stop the epidemic is through 60-80% of people getting infected so there is population-based immunity. We can STOP transmission

        I think British people are not good at simple math. Only 0.1% of the population getting infected at the same time, the ICUs of hospitals will be overflowed like Italy and Wuhan. How do you get more than 60% of the population infected to gain social immunity?

        Getting them infected is easy. Treating them afterwards may be tricky.

        As Pence said in an interview not long ago, "We like to do things our way in America" I'm starting to dislike this so-called "American way."

        Likewise- every healthcare worker I’ve spoken to at work disagrees with the current policy.

        40 million people catching a virus that we he have no idea what long term effects on the human body are.

        And it also seems that people can catch it more than once, so *no* immunity. 😳

        Exactly my conclusion: they took the influenza scenario’s, instead of knowledge regarding this brand new virus and its behavior: 10x higher mortality compared to flu and a 100% susceptible population is a totally different game.
