do a more extreme version to stop spread fully
100% stay at home, close all the shops, turn off the national grid, stop caring for people in hospitals/care homes for about 3 weeks. Should stop the virus. Might be a little tricky for all but the most organised prepper.
If the plan is 60% of UK to get virus then it will surely take so long like this?
I think the plan is to keep rate of infection low enough to be manageable until there is a vaccine.
Which I think means restrictions of one sort or another for a couple of years.

Still confused about the current UK long-term strategy. Vallance saying that we are aiming to get just under what the system can cope with then look at how we can lessen restrictions? So the idea is a type of 'hammer and dance'. Yet with more life lost than if we do a more extreme version to stop spread fully and then use contact trace etc. to snub out new cases until we can treat with vaccine. Why have a plan that would result in so many deaths and the chaos of full capacity? If the plan is 60% of UK to get virus then it will surely take so long like this?
