The strategy of all countries is to flatten the curve to enable their respective health services to cope. My concern is that the U.K. is now proposing isolation for the over 70s “within weeks”: this demographic has been shown to be at serious risk as of now, when looking at the experiences of China, Italy and Spain. Further, in the UK, testing is only now being carried out on cases serious enough to hospitalize, so I do not understand how the UK government can have confidence in its data as to the spread of the virus.
