"I cannot understand why they have stopped testing and contract tracing, either. Hospital staff are being told we cannot be tested if our [own] symptoms are mild. This is unbelievable. If we’re not allowed to be tested, then how will we ever know how many other people – patients – we are infecting? Brilliant. What a brilliant plan."
As I stated in the OP, the answer to that latter quote, I believe is the attempt at building herd immunity; without enough knowledge on the virus or how our bodies will react to it.Last edited by AB1; 16 March 2020, 22:51.Comment

Maybe the UK's reaction is more of a political / economic one rather than a humanitarian one. What groups are more at risk to the virus and which groups cost more to the NHS in social and health care? There is a correlation there. Along with that, this is a government that has advisers that believe in such lovely subjects as eugenics and survival of the fittest.
