Err, nope...I didn’t even consider the cost of anything. Just on the practicality of it, it is not possible to be 100% , which is what believe “totally” means. So no you’re wrong in trying to transpose what you think into what I posted.

There's no scientific evidence to suggest it's not containable, if we adequately control human behaviour, restrict movement, test, trace and isolate just like any other virus.

. 100% ? Totally contain it? ...................with 0% risk to anyone?
I don’t need to see scientific evidence to know that is highly unlikely if not impossible.
This exercise obviously not helped by Herd Immunity Week.

That's not true - there's nothing wrong with people in small groups so long as there is no mixing between groups. These could be streets, villages, towns, etc.

Ok junior virologist, if you can guarantee 0% risk of infection in that scenario, I’ll jump on board with you...............can you?

It just seems to me......as a pretty sophisticated and switched on country that as we find it difficult to obtain numbers for those that have died, outside of hospital, of COVID, why we should blindly accept figures from other countries as being spot on.
And as I type away, I’m pretty certain that all the stats on this graph are for hospital deaths anyway, from all nations ( happy to be wrong?)

It does look like we're going to have the worst death toll in Europe.

I would disagree until all the data has been processed.
