And then there are anti-vaxxers, who will be out in force with their tin foil hats.
Personally, from all the evidence I've seen so far, I'm in a low risk group where asymptomatic or 'just a bit of flu' is likely (providing I'm not exposed to high viral load like the medics succumbing to it that are otherwise healthy), so will take my chances with the virus in it's many strains over one or more vaccines that may be needed to combat the worst of them. My body my choice.
I reserve the right to change my mind as more facts about the virus are known and we get closer to an actual working vaccine.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

It's lucky that Neill Ferguson, and his colleagues at Imperial, were so appalled that they produced their seminal and influential paper, written mainly over the weekend of mid March.
And lucky that his influence was such that there was a complete U-turn of policy.
