I have watched them. They're merely saying the same thing but in more diplomatic words. In South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China, having most of the population infected isn't an implicit assumption that the strategy is built around -- it is the very thing their strategy is made to avoid.
- johneth 7y agoThe UK is starting from the assumption that the majority of the population will get infected, no matter what precautions are taken, so it's better to manage how we get there starting now rather than delaying the inevitable (quarantines will have to end at some point, after which re-infection of the population seems likely anyway).
