If they wanted to stop it we would have had a Wuhan style lockdown from the outset, MfH. Instead we had two weeks of idiots (myself included) wandering round DIY/Household/Furniture stores followed by two weeks of idiots standing in line to get into infested supermarkets and going home to order pints of beer for delivery.
Everyone is expendable... heath care workers, supermarket workers, garage worker, emergency service workers, bus/train drivers, etc, etc, etc... the older / less healthy you are the more expendable you are, I guess... unless you're over 70 in which case you ought to be cocooned.
I doubt I'll see the papers but you might... the targets for spread, ICU cases and death would be interesting, particularly in the context of delayed test results.
