Re: Another thing...
What puzzles me is that the whole strategy of the UK appears to be geared towards protecting the NHS
That's only because, as others have pointed out, there are a lot of "not too bright" people around - who can't understand complicated concepts. The strategy is to contain the outbreak to the level where the NHS can cope* - because if it blows up past that, then the death rate will rise dramatically as those needing care cannot get it. Flattening the sombrero as our blond one put it.
So "protect the NHS" really means "don't be part of the problem that overwhelming the NHS would cause" - but that's not as catchy !
