Not if they're shielded from them, which is the whole point of shielding.

We're still a long way off, I think estimates were al 3million exposed? approx. 4% of the population
Strategies “not put to the test”’ often fail at the desk based assessment. Either because they’re impractical, unworkable or frankly laughably bad.

4% of the population and 50,000 deaths. So are 800,000 deaths acceptable to get to 80% for a level of long term immunity that’s unknown?

As I’ve said before if any of these ideas were any good someone, somewhere would be putting them to the test and having neither the health nor soggnificant economic impacts. Yet, nobody does.

There’s work to zero or accept years of uncertainty and economic downturn.

In decades to come people will look back and ask why with all of human accomplishment to date they couldn’t keep 7 billion people apart as much as possible for 3 months give or take but instead accepted years of uncertainly and economic failure.

Madness.
