Well, I'm going to be cynical and state that in my opinion this CV19 came out of a bio-weapons lab. If it didn't it sure is behaving like own.
Dutch is right in saying health first and no one would disagree with that.
What's the alternative for democratic governments that ignore clamping down on CV19? People dropping dead on public transport before your very eyes from the virus. Look at reports in London of Police Constables having attended to peoples homes having witnessed several deaths in one day in one case up to 13. These are private homes where people caught the virus and died. Seeing dead bodies is not something that the human mind is accustomed to and no doubt these Constables are going to need to seek help at some point.
So, democratic governments who don't put health first with an R value over 1% (CV19) is even higher will find average Joe witnessing deaths on the streets. That Joe Blogs isn't going to vote in a government that allows that to happen no matter how popular or plain speaking the politicos are.
Hence, it's not so much about saving the NHS but of being seen to take action for fear of the body count and political implications of not doing anything. Herd immunity policy is plain inaction. Sweden has right shafted itself and now politicos there are going around in brown underwear, literally.
Brazil, Belorus and others ignoring CV19 are going to face political unrest going forwards as the death count soars and every family witnesses a needless death.
Why? Simple because CV19 is a bio-weaponed designed to kill in large numbers. Yes, it will mutate into something even worse or not and even into something harmless. What politico would risk the latter... none!
