I think play will resume in April , this herd mentality thing will either errrr, backfire? And get everyone that can be infected , infected in the coming weeks and likely clear by early April or whatever
Herd mentality only works with some form of vaccination in place..
There is not enough known about the virus to even consider that approach right now..
If you're are looking at 70% of the population being exposed to it you then are looking at potentially 600,000+ deaths, minimum. Current fatality rate in the UK is 1.6%
Of course the government consider that approach as the are looking at the best way to save the economy
Problem is any normal human will go into defence mode to protect their own, and that's what you are seeing right now.. paticulary in London. People are using their common sense to protect their own..Who the fuck in the right mind is going to accept their closest and dearest being killed off in some unproven government experiment? People will do anything and everything to protect their nearest and dearest..
What should happen. You prolong the spread of the virus to the summer with effective social distancing where its peak effectiveness is less and killing people off is less allowing time for a vaccine to be created
Coronvirus will simply die off in weather climates above 26/27 °c. So warmer climate around the world with the right planning will see a drop in cases..
Next winter when it resurfaces the hope is a vaccine in place, vaccine those for all with underlying health conditions and start the Herd Mentality
Minimising casualties should always be the first port of call
Besides Herd Mentality right now, would be catastrophic. We simply don't have the infrastructure to cope with it.. The government know this, hence the backtracking..
