LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has cautioned that more families will lose their loved ones to the coronavirus but has taken a distinctly different approach to tackling the outbreak.
Britain wants to “delay the peak and to push the peak down”, he said, to prevent the National Health Service from being overwhelmed and to push the peak into the summer months when the health service is less burdened. They say the science of the virus is “broadly agreed” internationally but countries will take different measures to tackle the spread.There is no point isolating the population at such an early stage as too few are infected, people get fed up with staying at home and a prolonged period of isolation could result in loneliness, the scientists say.
Isolating the entire elderly population so early is not logical, according to the government’s scientific advisers.
