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.

Thanks. My only thought to that is this was the plan from the off, right? Meaning we let spread occur when we could have been more aggressive. Wouldn't it have been less disruption to control going forward if we had jumped on it sooner? (While we wait for the vaccine).

I think the general public needs to fear the virus or there is no support for necessary restrictions. Which means some deaths.

With 20/20 hindsight we could have closed all international borders an New Years Day. Would be really hungry by now though.
