| Comment | It's not an enforced thing (yet). The more people take measures to distance themselves, the more the transmission rate will be reduced and the overall spread of the disease will slow. The modelling that is informing the government's strategy assumes a certain proportion of people carry on like normal.
So the rate of hospital admissions in the next few weeks, which is really the critical determinant of how many people will die, depends on how much people respect the concept that personal action leads to group benefits.
In response to this, society has divided into two groups:
Group A, also known as GBOLs, who respect this and are doing everything they can to help this reduction in transmission.
Group B, also known as Cunts, who aren't.
The ratio of A to B determines how fucked we are in 2 weeks' time. |
