      What are the strongest arguments for herd immunity vs containment as a strategy?

      The UK is one of the most sophisticated governments, science-led, and has had a large team prepping for a pandemic for a long time. Their models will be second to none. They show that containment will work short-term but without immunity it'll mutate and be back again quickly.

      Civil service and scientists are pretty top notch. I sure as hell don't mean the politicians!

      Having spent the day researching this (my family are flying back to the UK now) I don’t believe UK scientists have any unique insight or data. They are just willing to take an extraordinary amount of risk vs the rest of the global scientific community. It’s frightening.

      We may not be aligned on what the UK approach has been? I understood it to a question of timing. They didn't go into lockdown before as they believed that we were still early in the upswing, and compliance will only last for so long (closing schools isn't practical indefinitely).

      The UK approach was to ignore advice from WHO and scientists who have managed recent pandemics that (1) there is no issue of timing, lockdown asap (2) rollout testing to manage the second wave. The cost of that arrogance will be clearer in hindsight:https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/mar/18/uk-failures-over-covid-19-will-increase-death-toll-says-leading-doctor …

          I’m no epidemiologist and no public health expert. I do believe passionately in science and also in #Factfulness. This man is the global authority on the spread of disease. If you are a leader (in any capacity) watch this. If you are not, watch it too. pic.twitter.com/q0P3xaOVuS
