• As the Uk has never had a Lockdown as severe as Italy, Spain or France,
    any lessening of restrictions seems to lead directly to a second peak.

    I don't follow?

  • We're in Week 6 of the UK (partial) Shutdown,
    and
    the upper limit of R0 is 0.9.
    The bulk figure of daily mortalities for Eng & wales may be slightly declining,
    (using the rolling 7-day average beloved by those providing graphs),
    but,
    we have local hot spots disguised by London seemingly being at least a few days
    ahead of other regions/ NHS regions within E&W.
    If betwen 500 & 1000 deaths per day are an acceptable level of mortality,
    reduce the restrictions.

    You're going to have to do the work for me. Why does that mean:

    Unless you meant easing of restrictions in Italy/Spain/France?

    If you simply mean now is not the time to ease restrictions, I think the confusion is bringing the other countries in to it. Having had fewer cases, which presumably a stricter lockdown would have resulted in, is unlikely to prevent a second peak.
