      For those pointing to countries like S.Korea, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Australia, Germany, Denmark to say there will be no second wave in the UK or US- take a deeper look at their incredible public health response & infrastructure. None sat back & said ‘Let’s see what happens.’

      Reminds me of writing this piece after 12th March decision to abandon testing & tracing & to let mass gatherings/travel go ahead. 'I hope I’m wrong but if this plan doesn’t work the cost will be lost time, an overburdened NHS and unnecessary deaths.'https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/15/britain-goes-it-alone-over-coronavirus-we-can-only-hope-the-gamble-pays-off …

          It seems to me that the Government's proposals for easing lockdown are fully commensurate with their previously stated ambition to achieve herd immunity by allowing 60% of the population to become infected. Please tell me I am wrong.

          Scoured through all gov. docs on this issue and I have to agree. If there was a real intention and plan to get things under control it would surely be evident. {might be more like 80% though or even 95% depending on who you read}

          Wouldn't it take years to reach a high enough level of infections to get anywhere near a herd immunity point? Most of what I've read on the subject seems to suggest that.

          Tradgedy is that the only reason we need a plan like this is because the first (lack of) plan failed us so badly

          Just been comparing UK & Australian responses: UK 28th Jan "if returned from Wuhan - self-isolate for 14 days" : Aust. 1st Feb "foreign nationals banned from mainland China".

          It's worth being clear that nothing positive in this pandemic is not due to the UK government (or the scientists for that matter to some extent) competence. Any positive continuation of lower deaths is purely down to luck and how this virus behaves.

          UK test data. Good news or weird data? 1. Pillar 1 NHS swab - number stable 2. Pillar 2 (Red) drive in/ post swab - reported when sent out. Huge rise. How many complete? 3. Pillar 3 (Green) serology blood test. Sudden expansion 4. Pillar 4 Survey swab/ blood number stable pic.twitter.com/kBtibZ01ox
