Yeah, for sure, but how are you able to predict when the health service will be overrun when the current testing is lagging spread by at least a few day, if not more. But the time the sirens go off, it's already too late.
- nicoburns 7y agoWell look at Italy. In terms or reported numbers, we're about a week behind when their health service was overrun. So I'd say within 1-2 weeks max. Which is why we ought to be putting in restrictions now.
- starfallg 7y agoYes, my point is that this is being ignored by the government as it lends its ears to behavioural economists. We have no good way to measure the CoV spread beforehand so being prudent and proactive with the response is better than to delay introducing additional measures until it is absolutely necessary because you won't know it until it hits you and then it's too late.
- dTal 7y agoYou are correct, but the government is saying "4 weeks". Terrifyingly. UK is completely unprepared for what's about to hit.
