No more arbitrary than the nonsense that the UK government is hiding behind.
If we applied the same logic globally in 2003 we could have developed herd immunity to the original SARS. Just lost a few on the way.
The vast majority of Coronavirus cases in the UK will now not be counted and we can pretend it was a huge success.
When we inevitably close schools - probably the week after next - what happens to all the old people nomadking is so concerned about?

The thing with SARS and that other recent one was, iirc that victims weren't contagious until they were really ill, it's the opposite with this and I didn't like what was said earlier about herd immunity either, 60% of us have to get it, goodness knows how many will die if that's the case
