I accept all that, but its about finding the right balance. Locking down too hard will IMO lead to more social, emotion and physical problems than the virus itself
We dont have a vaccine and until we do, the virus will start spreading again anyway once restrictions are lifted.
We just have to accept a certain number of deaths that our health system can cope with, until herd immunity is achieved by default
HMG seems to have got the restrictions about right, though I would like pubs to reopen with social distancing. We are able to go for walks and to supermarkets, unlike the Italians, so people can release the tension a bit
