So what will follow? The government has said it will keep the R below 1 yet its was barely below that a few weeks back. Will they lockdown again or just bluster that this is the plan? 

 

Cant suss out what they are up to as it makes no sense.

 

If they want us to get herd immunity why say we will keep the R below 1 

 

If the really want to keep the R below 1 why open up so much and so fast?

If the UK's lead scientists recommend Herd Immunity the Government cant come out with that because 3/4 of the UK will freak out. The amount of people that struggle to understand the latest governments guidelines is staggering, instead of trying to get their heads around it they make memes instead. 

 

So maybe the Governments going for a stealthy heard immunity? Might be the answer in the long run? Imagine if we all cower at home for a year and then find out there is no vaccine? A steady drip, drip, drip of Heard Immunity might not be a bad thing. But one things for sure, telling the British Public and worse, the media is not a good idea at all, we're simply to stupid to deal with the truth. 

 

Open the UK again, at at pace that does not swamp the Hospitals. 

Keep those who are susceptible to dying from C-19 locked away in cotton wool. Thats the Fat, the Old and those with proven underlying health issues that will bump folk off, ie Diabetes.

Sweden reckons it'll be most of the way to herd immunity by the end of the month. It'll be interesting to see.

It might well be the way but why did they say they will keep the R below 1? We now have a lowish amount of the population infected so if we stay at a similar level it will take and age to get herd immunity. Never going to get down to low levels where track and trace will work on current plan and wont be able to get herd immunity quickly without the R going a fair bit higher for a while. They just seem to have made a rod for their own back if what you say is the plan
