To be fair to the government, in that very first statement when they first rolled out the boffins, this is exactly what they said along with some horrific figures. The public as well as most politicians rightly couldn't stomach this so we went for option 2, lockdown. This was always gonna be a temporary fix and never a solution but to be fair its probably bought a bit of time so at least we now know a little more about covid-19. They no easy solution, you can't plan for a vaccine that may never turn up. Apart from locking down a bit earlier and a few logistical problems which is easy with hindsight to get on your high horse about, i doubt there's much more a government can do. Right from the start it seemed that this was something that most of us were gonna catch and hopefully come through. I'm not even sure how effective any treatment is...the death figures for those who end up on ventilators are grim.
The political optics of people on gurneys in hospital corridors was too much to stomach for any leader

Herd immunity would be a suitable for a while and you just have to pray there is no mutation!Juce - mutation isn't as scary as it sounds.All RNA viruses mutate. COVID-19 is mutating now.Seasonal flu mutates and does so faster than COVID-19. A mutated form of the virus is likely to become LESS aggressive. Also, mutation probably doesn't prevent us from developing a short to medium term immunity nor does it mean we can't produce a vaccine.
Yeh I was thinking worse case scenario where after all that effort herd immunity isn't obtained.
Should be ok, as you say these mutations normally make it weaker not stronger

There was a study the other day where they tested people in a town in Germany and found far more people had been infected and hadn't known it (than was thought). I think the figure was 5x higher. That would mean the death rate is far lower than expected, which is very good news.
I'm sure that's true and seen as the UK hasn't had a total lockdown it should reach immunity quicker than other countries

jucel I've a related theory as to why Spanish Flu just disappeared .. far more people were infected without symptoms than they realised, they didn't have the means to test back then, herd immunity kicked in, and it was gone. It makes sense, the "mutated itself away" doesn't make ense.
