There's questions around the let it rip argument
a. How do you decide who needs be be shielded ? How far do you take it? Do the carers of those that are for example in nursing homes also need to shield?
b.How do you enforce that those who are required to shield do so?
c. How do we ensure that by allowing the virus to let rip that we don't overload the NHS
d. Would is be reasonable to say that by allowing the virus to burn through we risk civiil unrest due to lack of manpower in emergency services such as those in the police who have to either self isolate, or those that unfortunately die
