There's not a lot we can do about the first one, but if they got 2-5 right, I might never go abroad again.
Fat chance of that happening, unfortunately. Unless, of course, this virus forces the government to re-think.

The government will not have a second national lockdown, and when we start to find hotspots cropping up all over the place, they will come to realise that local lockdowns are too disruptive and confusing.
There is only one solution, although I know you don't want to hear it.
Oh, another big outbreak in China - who would have thought it...?

Your ‘solution‘ isn’t viable. Folk aren’t going to rush off on holiday when we are diagnosing hundreds of thousands (or worse...
not diagnosing them!) of cases a week.
Lockdown is inevitable without significant mitigation. Your long term shielding plan simply punishes the old and vulnerable - actually some of the same people with mortgages paid off and disposable income that we need to spend in the economy.
