That has been the one true and consistent message that has come from the CMO, CSO and Government and (Old Boy to be fair, although his message of same numbers dying was a bit off.)

It's only ever been about the NHS and making sure there was an ICU and Ventilator there for you if you needed it, and other NHS services for everyone.

Now that the peak has passed, people can go back to work (with cautionary measures) as the NHS will be able to cope with the inevitable number of extra people who will catch and/or die from Covid-19 and that the Government believes that this is worth it to protect the economy as any further damage to it would cause even more problems to our society.
