idk but it contradicts the stated reason for lockdown at the time: to avoid overwhelming the NHS.
It reveals that the decision was a political one, as had already been indicated by the absence of any great enthusiasm for a general lockdown in the SAGE meeting minutes.
I think the idea of control is quite optimistic...Whitty and Vallance also said that they do not know to what extent it is transmitted by each route eg. aerosol/fecal-oral/fomites and added 'as with the flu' - we don't even know how regular flu works and how long has that been about!!!
