DO NOT LOCK DOWN IN UK. Avoid an economic colapse followed by huge unemployment.
Do not implement lock-down in UK. Other countries that implement the lock-down have been through a dramatic situation. There are other effective and non-disruptive ways to prevent spreading of COVID19. Lock down causes massive unemployment and shortage on critical resources.
It makes no sense collapsing the economy for 100% to perhaps protect a few ones as an economic colapse would more likely to generate much more casualties by violence and lack of resources than the virus it self. It is time the government should prioritise the economy and employment. It is better to spend money to contain the virus by treating the infected people and recommend the more vulnerable ones, to isolate themselves to avoid casualties. We should hopefully have a vacine very soon as well.
