So I might expect, depending on results, perhaps parts of the U.K. or certain sectors being relaxed, if after 2 months the evidence supported it.

Wuhan is a province by Chinese standards but with a population of 58 million it has almost as many people in it as the UK does. The lockdown in Wuhan was extreme, and lasted 3 and a bit months with the result that infection rates came right under control. I’d say there’s every reason for the UK government to at least consider that as a model that worked, even if there are ultimately other factors here that mean I t doesn’t directly apply.
