There really are only two ends to this epidemic. Either we get herd immunity at a high enough level for it to become an irritating but unimportant problem or we get a vaccine. Seperation / distancing is only a delaying tactic which cannot ever defeat the virus and the public's willingness to comply with distancing rules in masks etc diminishes with time. We arent a police state and when the general public decide they have had enough and start to ignore the rules as many are noiw doing, there simply is no way of putting the genie back in the bottle. People on here can rant as much as they like about the oiks ( or whatever) who flout the rules but the latter will simply say "up you" as they see the comfortable middle classes telling everyone else what to do. .
