Even a small minority of a very large number is a lot. We're looking at up to 7 or 8 million people needing hospital care over the next couple of years if we get 70% infection. That's why the policy has switched from mitigation to suppression, we need to flatten the curve way more than originally anticipated.

This is a very serious illness, and BJ's language in today's press briefing is a clear indication from the Government that we need to take things a great deal more seriously than we have been up to now.
