"My personal take on the current situation here is not to try and prevent everyone catching the virus, but to slow the spread up enough to be able to save the highest % of saveable people possible and not be overwhelmed".[/QUOTE]

Slowing the spread is the problem - it is proving far harder than most experts thought it would be - the idea that we could slow for a bit, ease off for a bit, slow for a bit etc is looking pretty silly.
