@Chandy27032377 @Buncahn @realDonaldTrump Infection rate is far more important! Low mortality rate combined with a high rate of infection still means more deaths than if it were the other way around.

@giffordsgalore @itvMLshow @ITV @MartinSLewis @angellicabell Hi, I've managed to get it to work. I used the Google Chrome browser, and the mortgage acc number is the 17 digit reference number from your direct debit payments. Can be found from looking at your payments through online banking. Hope this helps.

@Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat I'm no epidemiologist, but I am an Engineer with experience creating models for government, particularly for oil and sewage spillages. The strategies I was talking about are not my own, but that of experts from Imperial college London. https://t.co/Nx6w7pQZuC

@talhakhokar39 @Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat But then there are only 2 other options left: 1) stay isolated for 18 month's, which will have a far greater cost. Or option 2) do nothing and let people die.
I encourage you to have a read of this report. https://t.co/Nx6w7pQZuC

@stonegarlice @Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat I think what's important to understand is there is no safe strategy. The risk of mutation is always there, but the UK is pioneering this method, and I for one don't see any feasible alternatives. For all our sakes I just hope it works.

@talhakhokar39 @Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat Also the other option of staying isolated until a vaccine is ready is simply not feasible, this could take upto 18 months.

@talhakhokar39 @Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat I agree with you, but achieving herd immunity will not be a quick process. We also need to keep in mind the strain on the NHS. Which is why Imperials paper suggest a repeated cycle of introducing and lifting measures, until a vaccine is ready.

[Ashadur @Ashadur01]

@Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat If we do achieve some sort of herd immunity, we're decreasing the chances of a second wave, later in they year. And ultimately protecting our vulnerable.

[Ashadur @Ashadur01]

@Cycling_mad1 @theaitchat Suppose he did 2 weeks ago, what do you suppose would happened 3 months later, when measures were eased? Do you not see that the strategy is still herd immunity, which is why measures were delayed. And tbh it is the only strategy that'll save the most lives in the long run
