How will we get herd immunity if we are in lockdown? I wonder how we will get out of this situation. If we stay in lockdown for months the economy will be wrecked and millions of people’s lives ruined. When they do lift the lockdown the virus will still be there. If that is in autumn, the next outbreak will coincide with the next flu season.

Sweden does appear to be adopting the policy of herd immunity. I wonder whether they will hold their nerve.
