The science is there, I thought this guy in this video that I shared back in March, explained in basic terms why you cannot just introduce a lockdown right at the beginning of a few cases of Coronavirus....

Sure but that was the initial strategy which changed after the publication of the Imperial College Report. The concept there is a the herd immunity one whereby we accept most of the population will manage it so we control the flow as to not overload ICU capacity.
What changed was that the demand on beds was a lot higher than expected, we'll see what happens but the Government might be going for a hybrid approach.
