Do they really expect many people to follow these rules now? Looking at how many were out and about today suggests many are fed up and just past point of caring about rules now. Just business will suffer further. More proof there is absolutely no scientific reasoning for any of this just a bunch of buffoons in charge who have no idea what they're even trying to deal with. If they understood anything about virus transmission then they wouldn't carry on the way they're going. I'm at the stage now, call me selfish if you like but I've had enough of all this, that infections go through the roof and can get back to normality quicker.
Hubei province, where Covid started, has 57m people and cities of 11m
They locked down completely, closed airports, roads, schools, business for 16 weeks, then opened up
Deaths per million:
China: 3.3
UK: 676 and rising
Uk economy fell over 20%
Hubei is growing at 4%...
But as you say, no reason at all to lock down hard and fast.
