The answer, according to The Lancet - it won't work anyway but at least you will have overloaded the NHS and caused many thousands more deaths. But hey, ho you will have continued to enjoy your 'normal life' while doing so.
Article published in "The Lancet" doesn't make it right nor make it fact. NHS cost is £200 billion this year, probably more. If current Government actions continue then UK will not be generating enough to pay for the NHS never mind the rest of the public sector.
Impact on aviation / air travel / tourism has been minimum 250,000 job losses, airports, hotels, transportation, retail especially in London with foreign shoppers and loss in billions in VAT / Excise duty / PAYE / CT / Passenger tax.
A point in time gets reached where either the country returns to normality and the economy starts moving again or we spend billions more on the NHS on false assumptions. There is no right or wrong way but more peope will die as a result of cancelled operations / treatments and lockdowns than will ultimnately die of the virus.
People are responsible for their own lives and if you wish to stay at home limiting social contacts to avoid infection that is your choice. But do we destroy everything to keep 70 yr olds alive for 2 years longer if we kill the potential lives / jobs / opportunities for everybody under the age of 25 for the next 50 years ?
