We do not know that to be true......yet.

Without knowing for certain how the virus affects whom and when the conclusion to 100% lock down may well have been the only answer. However the major disastrous effect is it locks down the majority not sick or at risk.

So let us not be so quick to snap back to total lock down if there is ever an increase in new cases. We will no doubt be confronted with numbers to "live with" as we have readily done for the flu....and getting in your car for a drive for that matter.

We cannot survive a 100% shut down approach again.
