Current cases at 187k. Which is of course a massive underestimation. Let's assume the real number of cases in the community is 20 fold. Round it up to 200k and multiply by 20. That still means that there are 62 million healthy people in lockdown in the UK.
Healthy people don't infect others. We should be releasing healthy people back in the community.
Testing and tracing is the key.
We have better technology and widespread media to order takeaways than to detect trace and contact positive cases.
Current testing for key workers should have been available 6 weeks ago. Right now we should be rolling it to the communities.
This requires massive resources and logistics which should have been prepared months ago. We have a defence budget for wars that never happen. This should have been treated the same way.
Yet somehow the daily government updates are trying to make us think they've done a great job so far.
There is a clown on the other side of the Atlantic who uses the expression "great job" a lot. (Tremendous too). That's usually to indicate anything BUT a great job...
