With the greatest respect, you've missed the point and then managed to support my argument at the same time.
I'll try to keep it simple for you and take you through the steps slowly....
Yes, 10 people carrying the virus is better than 100.
But what do those ten people do, if they're not traced and isolated (which we were not doing effectively)?
The 10 very rapidly becomes 25 to 30 and those then become 60 to 90 which then become 125 to 180.
Now, that is bleeding obvious - but clearly not sufficiently obvious for you.
