Coronavirus: Over 100,000 could die if only vulnerable groups told to isolate, says professor news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-over-100000-could-die-if-only-vulnerable-groups-told-to-isolate-says-professor-11979126

I think this is worrying and a call to those that are wanting to rush lockdown.

I am sure there will be posters not rating Ferguson. However its a worry.

The big issue here is nobody knows what could happen.... he says that many could die, another model will say something completely different... We were told 500,000 when this first started!

That was without any interventions.

I mean we are already at 40k over 20k in hospitals so it would not be surprising.

Sadly, this sounds about right if 500,000 was the figure with no restrictions at all. Aren't we supposedly at 41k now when all deaths are counted?
