Quarantine for those at risk
Lockdown should be lifted.
Why the contribution is important
There’s never before been a scenario where countries around the world have locked down the general public where the majority are healthy and able to cope with getting a virus. Quarantine is for sick people and those at greater risk from the virus. The majority of deaths from this virus have been the sick and elderly. These people need Social distancing and better systems put in place to protect them, but a lockdown for everyone is not the answer to protecting them. It is however going to have devastating effects on the economy, which will have a much wider and longer impact on the general population, including health and well-being.

Once we get ahead of the curve, then we can begin to relax, and apply properly co-ordinated track-trace-isolate. That is the sensible way forward, not some abrupt switch-off for all but the most vulnerable.
