I believe people are going to die, and looking at the long term counts over a short-term mentality and with that, having less deaths overall is a better plan than not. But if you have a solution to how an entire country can completely isolate and operate in today's times for any European sized country then I'm all ears to hear it as we are talking a year at least until any sort of vaccine is available. As for `super spreaders` that's a given, just the same way Europe has easy access to heroin and cocaine that are all imported - you can't stop things spreading even with best intentions and efforts and viruses are much smaller than smuggled drugs. So given that, people who spread this will happen and how would you ever stop that? Sure isolate from the vulnerable and at risk and those groups are already on the case, heck the amount of old people I know and saw 2 weeks ago buying a years worth of toilet roll - well, they are already self isolating and no need to be told by some PM they may or may not respect when they have a lifetime of common sense and experience to draw upon and effectively kick into war-mode mentality lockdown. Though many will learn that over the comming year as this is a world war, only it's the entire world this time fighting a virus. Looking at how the spanish flu went, the real fear is not the hear and now, but the winter to come.
