I get that Dom but how does it reduce things ? Maybe if people have had it they can isolate till it’s gone etc but in that case we will need huge numbers of them we won’t have anywhere near enough

Common sense from the start, surely?
Its gone from pubs to building sites now though.

It will help the nhs as you can confirm the virus they self isolated for was covid-19 and thus they don't need to isolate again if I'll.

Doesn't that only work if people can't catch it twice?

Why 80 million

Yes but current evidence shows you are likely to be immune

Why do we need 80 million? We don't need it for anybody who has been tested for the virus already. With all the will in the world you are not going to test 80 million people in any short period of time.

You could be right as my memory is shocking these days. But 1991 would have meant we lost him at about 23. Sure he was younger.

Incredible stat really- at this point at least quarter of the world's population is now on lockdown of some type.
And Trump has a rival for the position of most ridiculous position so far:
"Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro has criticised the media for 'fear-mongering' and has called on mayors and governors to roll back restrictions they have introduced to curb the spread. "

91 wouldn't be far away. Perhaps a year out.
Edit: thinking on it it may have been a bit earlier than that

So we can test if we think we have and isolate allowing things to go back to normal ?
Ring Of Steel

It is, but for the sake of your own sanity believe it when it happens!
Brighton Sky Blue

It is, but a couple of pinches of salt to take:
1. We need to be certain that you can't be reinfected
2. If it shows that large numbers have been infected and had no symptoms, do we continue to keep large numbers in lockdown?

Exactly my worry do we believe them to have come that far so fast ?

If people can catch it twice we can’t make a vaccine and that’s a whole other ballgame.

I believe one or two cases have been reported of people getting it twice but would need broader statistics to see

Saw one of the boffins either CSA or CMO asked this and he said there’s one or two cases but that’s normal apparently even if most can’t.

Professor Sharon Peacock, director of the National Infection Service at Public Health England, revealed on Wednesday that millions of such a test have been ordered and could be used "in the near future".
They would show whether an individual had antibodies for COVID-19 which, if they did, would mean they could return to work if they were not showing symptoms.
Evidence suggests people cannot catch coronavirus twice in quick succession, if they have already been infected and recovered, the government has said.

I read something though that suggested it's a bit like our immunity to the common cold / flu, we're never fully immune but should be sufficiently for a reasonable enough period to get over the peak
