As Sir David Spiegelhalter OBE FRS [a British statistician and Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk in the Statistical Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge who specialises in medical matters] discussed on BBC Radio 4 a few weeks ago: If the virus was allowed to just let rip, it would be expected to kill some 600,000 people. That is almost the number of deaths in the UK in a typical year. No one wants to see a whole extra year's worth of deaths occur in the space of a few months. Hence lock down.
