The UK has declined to show their math.
Add in the fact that that hospital overload is easily hit with small percentages of the population infected and that even relatively young people die at high rates when they can't receive critical care, I am extremely doubtful that they calculated much of anything here.
If large amounts of working age people die because of overloaded hospitals the negative economic effects will be tremendous.
Moreover, they now appear to be walking back their plan, suggesting that they will actually trying to slow the progression as much as possible... which is what almost everyone else is doing (as full containment isn't possible).
