"Suppression strategies are assumed to be in place for 5 months or longer." (p. 6)Would those who accepted lockdown as absolutely necessary have been quite so ready to accept it had they known that it would need to be put in place for 5 months? My guess is no, yet that is what "the science" they followed actually calls for. Of course it remains to be seen whether the Government will continue on this course, or whether most of the media and large sections of the public who demanded and welcomed the draconian measures are prepared to continue backing that particular horse, but if they are to be consistent and "led by the science", as they have so far claimed, they are going to have to insist that lockdown should continue until late August, as the Imperial College model says it should.
"The blue shading shows the 5-month period in which these interventions are assumed to remain in place." (p. 10)
But as I have said repeatedly, I see no evidence for the necessity of lockdown, for two reasons. Firstly because the case fatality rate of Covid-19 does not warrant it (the evidence points to between 0.1%-0.5%, and a recent study from Stanford University suggests it may be between 0.12% and 0.2%). And secondly, because I have seen no evidence to suggest that a lockdown strategy makes any real difference in reducing cases and deaths.
Comment: No, these changes are orders handed down from the One World Govt.
