If you accept that premise, then trying to shield the most vulnerable for as long as possible seems to make sense.

Personally I also think 1% will turn out to be an overestimate for the mortality rate, but I’m not married to the idea of arguing the toss since we’re all guessing on that score.
I agree.

And whats more - we will probably never know the mortality % as many people will have had it and recovered/recovering and not even bothered calling our health service.
