You have no way of knowing who will develop complications. You can risk assess, but that’s not black and white. Neither does it consider the collapse of the health service as and when the epidemic went out of control.
Every country in the world, bar Sweden, didn’t simultaneously decide to impose significant restrictions because Old Boy’s fag packet analysis reckons we can “shield the vulnerable” and be fine.
It’s an idea so bad not a single emerging economy thought to get the jump on its neighbours by staying open. No Southern European country thought to get a jump on France and Germany. And the countries who pushed too far are moving backwards.
To quote Professor Whitty we are near or at the limit of what we can do.
