we've heard from Public Health England that should a pandemic happen in the UK its likely to be at the most serious in the summer.
I can't imagine everyone working from home for 14 days will stop it, but i also have no medical background knowledge whatsoever!

I’d be interested to know what spreading a pandemic over multiple seasons due to quarantine vs just letting it rip affects the seriousness. Obviously the longer it’s around for, it has more chance of mutating.

yeah - no epidemiological knowledge here, but I imagine you'd have to have everyone in London work at home for a while for this to make a dent.
And then (for a long time) stop people coming in from any country that hadn't done the same, or any country that was still letting travel from other countries that hadn't done the same.... Otherwise they'd just reinfect you

Why is this? More people flying?

We've just been told to take our laptops home from work daily now in case their pandemic planning kicks in over night - apparently there's another company in Canary Wharf that's sent staff home, though that's obviously a rumour so not sure it's true.
