The UK policy is to allow us to build up herd immunity by letting the populace interact to some extent and so catch the virus. Of course there will be collateral damage, but I suppose their modelling shows this will be no worse overall. However most sporting bodies cancelled events (football, rugby, cricket, London marathon) and so it seems there will be a u-turn in policy and crowds of over 500 will be banned centrally. Schools and colleges are to remain open.
On the news last night they featured a company that has a simple home test kit going through approval that looks for the presence of corona antibodies. We could all self test if this can get rolled out. The target was within three weeks. I would like to know whether I have been though a mild dose and have immunity. I’ve had a very persistent cough for ten days, never felt very bad, and today it seems like I have mostly shaken it off. it would be great if I now have some immunity and can get on with life and no be a risk to anyone.
