The Government is following to the letter, the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Science Officer. You are neither. you know nothing compared to them.
So you can bleat all you want.

The vast majority of Coronavirus cases in the UK will now not be counted

Counting the cases is a total irrelevance, what difference does it make?
As of yesterday we had something around 500 confirmed cases, the Chief Medical Officer advised the true figure would probably be around 10,000.
We don't have the capacity to test everyone and we don't need to. Only the serious cases count now.
Which is why we have to stem the flow of infection so that there are enough intensive care beds for the most serious cases.
It's not difficult to understand.
Around 70-80% of the UK will become infected, the important thing is now to ensure they are not all infected at once because the system will fail and more will die and that has nothing to do with the level of resource and investment in the NHS. The NHS would buckle in such a situation no matter how much money we had thrown at it.
What other countries have done or are doing, is irrelevant.
Now stay at home, if you've been out wash your hands as soon as you get home and ride it out.
