But, you’re right, the economic fallout will be significant ...
And, to a large extent I agree with you. I’m watching Sweden with interest ... as I’m sure other governments are!

Yes it will be a difficult decision – but I believe inevitably it will be made.
I fully understand the logic and flattening the curve but we are simply not getting infected quick enough to have this conclude within a few months using the self isolation method (Even if you take it that there a 10 or 20 times the known number actually infected.)
