I'm a big supporter of this lockfown, and it's working, the goal was to flatten the curve and ensure that the NHS isn't overwhelmed. That has been achieved. However on todays news that social distancing will have to continue possibly indefinitely, a full lockfown seems to be no longer tenable in terms of ensuring that the economy can recover (it has to be remembered that a recession also his negative implications for public health..)
So how do we move forward, what is the balance between saving lives and allowing life to continue? Personally I think aggressive test-track/trace-isolate is the only way |

The figures do not back the governments comments that we have reached the peak. Lockdown has been going on at least 4 weeks for the majority, longer for some of us. The incubation period is allegedly 7 days, so if lockdown is working why aren't new cases in double digits. Why lockdown started we had 2000 new cases a day, yesterday we had 4450 cases. Something doesn't add up.

The government has resisted the advice from th WHO to test, from the start. I assume there is some excuse why.
