It certainly will go badly wrong. If you use all your NHS capacity for treating COVID-19 alone, and expect the majority of the population to get it, and don't want to overload the NHS, then simple estimates that anybody can make indicate that you're going to need to keep it "ticking" for 100 years. Any faster, and you will overload and cause the death rate to soar.
The government surely knows this, so I don't know why they're acting like they don't.
