A weekend item in the local press here in Australia for those interested - note as I said, an opinion piece this is NOT confirmed UK government policy, just speculation by the writer.
- UK government is mounting the argument that the outbreak is now so far gone that it is actually desirable for people to get infected.
- A risky strategy? Very. At complete odds with the rest of the globe and the World Health Organisation? Definitely. Politically unpopular? Absolutely. But sensible? Quite possibly.
- Herd immunity describes a scenario where so many people become resistant to a disease - either through vaccinations or exposure - that it becomes much harder for the virus to spread through the rest of the population. Mass immunity could effectively cause the virus to burn out over the course of one or two seasons, or buy time until a vaccine is developed and distributed.
