We have a FACTS alert, I repeat, a FACTS alert. This is not a drill.

Sure lock down half of the population indefinitely so we can experiment herd immunity on the other half. Sound plan.

What problem do you think you're solving by deliberately allowing all the under 50s to get infected?

Goes up to c 2.5% looking at Spain, and may also vary by ethnicity.
If the UK were 2.5% mortality for under 50's, that would equate to 16250 people under 50 (going by 1% mortality, for 65 million pop.)
Still a steep price to pay.

Deaths by age group - maybe some of you guys should look at the FACTS. About 1% of them are the <50's. Which are just normal seasonal (endemic) flu figures. Here is the data from Italy.

Keeping the >50's and other high risk groups in lockdown would work.
