The infection fatality rate in London is substantially lower than in the rest of the UK, probably because in the rest of the UK its been mainly infected care home patients and it's run out of London care homes to infect and is reduced to infecting the general population.
Reimposing the lockdown will be socially and politically untenable.
It has effectively collapsed - about when the often decried behavioural people said it would!
Probably the only tenable solution is to embrace the Sweden model, as we probably shold have done already.
Couldn’t have happened at a worse time either, as if there is a spike because of this, it will appear in evidence as if it was due to the lifting of restrictions tomorrow, and that could result in the lockdown being reinstated or prolonged simply because people can’t control themselves.
