That sounds totally legit.
There is a map of infections available now. This is the desktop one. Also a mobile one on another web page.

Personally I feel stage one should have included avoid longer distance travel unless it really is needed but it seems that gov think that we would accuse them of crying wolf and not take it seriously. So the general idea seems to wait until it is really is serious which of course may not even happen. Unlikely I would have thought.

According to Patrick Vallance the government chief medical officer, the true number of Coronavirus infections in the UK could be 10 times higher the official figure of reported cases.

5,000 to 10,000 I heard
They seem to have solved the 111 problem and also reduced the amount of testing. Just self isolate now and don't phone 111. 7 days isolation has it's interesting points as well but wont repeat myself.

So what's your medically informed solution JohnD?
Might not be that bad as I understand people should still use 111 if things do get serious after catching it. Depends on the system keeping up with demand including the hospitals. Doctors can also get people tested. This I think is inevitable - just look at how many tests have been done compared with those that were positive.
I wondered what would happen if some one in a 111 call centre catches it. Saw a hint that they then use Skype from home. True, false, not feasible - pass.
Testing now seems to be restricted to NHS etc people and I'd suppose those that find they need to be in hospital.
Our health system lags others for a very simple reason - it's never really had adequate funding. Tax rises aren't a good way of gaining votes. It also not clear where NHI tax goes since May mentioned that health tax needs ring fencing which suggests they can be inclined to spend it on other things. I recollect a graph from Mrs T's time showing that spending increase on health at the time were running at 1/2 the rate of "medical inflation". Increases when given sound huge and always over several years. Part will be down to expected levels of inflation. Numbers need to be compared with the gov's tax spend. Not sure what it is now but has been £1 trillion plus, probably a bit short currently but cuts are having to be increased.
yes, so then what?
bring you sedatives and a tablet to help you to an easy death?
Bring round a disposable coffin?
use the Chinese system and take you to a central store where you can die or get better away from the public eye?
There is no cure, no vaccine, and insufficient resource to keep all the severe cases alive.
Maybe they give you a lottery ticket?
Avoid catching it
Death rates without medical care look to be about 4% - 1 in 25
