Coronavirus is spreading in the southern hemisphere where lockdowns are weak or absent, and in countries where the weather temperature is currently comparable or in excess of a summer in the UK.

Have you got a source for the bit in bold - testing for antibodies in the population done to date hasn't indicated that there's a large number of asymptomatic people and there are question marks over their reliability in any case.

Even further - there is a bigger question mark over whether any immunity exists at all for those who have had the virus.

Sage are concerned about reliability of antibody tests and have cautioned against too much focus on the antibody tests.
