But the hope has to be that we are better armed to deal with it (despite being a unqualified sceptic on most things). Now to pop out. Birds await. I may find a quiet spot to watch some House Sparrows.
All the best
My understanding is that it's not a question of buying time to be better armed to deal with it (although this is obviously to be hoped), but to prevent a single large spike in the number of people that overwhelms critical care services. By imposing and then relaxing controls in cycles, the idea is to spread the incidence of infections over a long period at a level that can be dealt with.
