Title: While virtually all countries adopt the lockdown strategy to eliminate the virus spread, UK is apparently going on with &#x27;herd immunity&#x27; strategy. It&#x27;s pretty well explained in this tweet:
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;iandonald_psych&#x2F;status&#x2F;1238518371651649538?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;iandonald_psych&#x2F;status&#x2F;12385183716516495...</a><p>Basically, the idea is to get the young infected, as the virus seems to be relatively inoffensive for young people, and thus becoming immune. Once the country reach a threshold percentage of immune population, the virus cannot spread effectively anymore, hence protecting the vulnerable ones.<p>My gut feeling is that this is the rational thing to do, however only in theory. In practice, people won&#x27;t be disciplined about isolating vulnerable ones in the first phase, thus leading to disaster.
