Donald Trump wants to ‘reopen’ US economy in weeks, not months, page-16

Don't for minute think that 20-50 year old people don't get sick or die. Here is a table.

A fair proportion of people who recover from severe illness end up with lung fibrosis or kidney impairment. The impact is not just about fatality rates.

The strategy of locking down medically "at risk" people in the UK has I believe started. So called shielding isn't mandatory for the elderly however I understand that they are being advised to stay home for 12 weeks.

I'm glad we agree on a 4 week lockdown to nip this in the bud and provide a basis for getting back to work. I understand that NZ is adopting this approach.

This crisis needs to be drilled. It's not a political crisis but I will flame any politician who would, for whatever reason. , make this crisis worse and therefore more prolonged. Th flattening the curve mantra is a little wrong .
