Very helpful member
Being in the UK I listen most days to the changing goal posts from the government. So lets look at some statements made
1) 'Once the sombrero has been flattened we can relax the lockdown as we will have protected our valuable NHS'
2) 'Once everyone is tested we can relax the lockdown'
Point 1 : There is no doubt the underfunded and overworked NHS (and other emergency services and key workers) have done and continue to do a fantastic service to the UK. Now, the Sombrero has been flattened... Government response - lets all dither and make no decision.
Point 2 : There are approx 67M people in the UK. At 100K tests per day (not that the target can ever be achieved) that is 670 days worth of testing, so give or take a few days, February 2022.
Something must give.
Social and economic demise will kill more people than CV at this rate.
End of rant!
