Interesting parliamentary committee this morning

Basically the head modelling professor confirming what appeared to be the case that our initial mitigation strategy became a suppression strategy (lockdown) 2 weeks ago once we realised mitigation would totally overwhelm the NHS with the new data

The peak should be in 2-3 weeks which is the lag between infection and needing intensive care treatment and encouraging that these lockdown measures could see the NHS having a close to manageable number of cases.

We could never follow South Korea because we never had the testing capacity and a lifting of the restrictive measures will require widespread testing.
