As Seph says the numbers infected up to now would be over 10 million (possibly as high as 20 million). Herd immunity would be achieved sometime in the next 2-6 months under the present conditions. Pubs open in time for the office Christmas parties.

... or even in the next 2 minutes! Pubs open tomorrow.
(I wouldn't go).
