Shield the vulnerable and get everyone else back to normal.
Use the money needed to shield the vulnerable and their close contacts. Make sure any Carers are regularly tested even if asymptomatic.
Get the community motivated to help those who cannot get out by: shopping, phoning, chatting from a distance.
Everyone else under 60 could return to work and school.
If that means the virus spreads amongst the fit and healthy we will cope with it as we do the flu.
Herd immunity is okay as long as it’s not a threat to life.

Why the contribution is important
It turns the idea of shielding almost the whole population on its head.
We can get most people back to work and rebuild our economy and way of life.

Worth a read of "The emerging long-term complications of Covid-19, explained"
Potential for a significant % of covid suffers developing health issues in longer term. And ofcourse, more and more emerging data of Kawasaki disease in children.

There needs to be some evidence to support where the line is drawn on who has to remain shielded.
Significant resource would be needed to work out the best way to support the shielded during that time.

I think those over 70 should not be forced to ‘stay at home’ but should be a decision they make themselves, particularly if they are very fit over 70 year olds. This shouldn’t be an immediate thing for them but certainly something to be considered for the weeks to come as the cases go down even further.

The time should have been used to develop shielding for the groups China and Italy told us clearly were at risk.
When that was in place we should have moved back to a more normal way of life.
