Tier 2,3 and potentially to a degree tier 4 have allowed for these numbers. Now imagine what would happen if we removed the restrictions, cases would increase massively, subsequent hospital admissions, patients requiring ICU and unfortunately deaths would increase massively relative to current rates.

The job of lockdown or restrictions is to try and keep the fire to a slow burn, without them in place it would akin to a raging inferno.
The point being made is there is an alternative to a total lockdown that would ruin the economy. Why isolate everyone when most people will escape the impact of this virus unscathed?

You are just running with this scaremongering mantra.

Hey, do you realise that if infections are running at 500 per hundred thousand, that works out as 5 per thousand? And per hundred, that’s 0.5!

Go figure and start thinking for yourself.
