Pretty much, but I don’t buy the ‘public doesn’t listen so containment won’t work ‘ narrative they keep pushing. They could enforce it if they needed to but they’d rather a few old dears pegged it than stop business.
Sorry to hear about people getting screwed by the employers in the middle of this, last thing you need.

I was musing on the different strategies of China and the UK.
I reckon the UK made this sort of decision:
Containment works but is only viable if everyone does it and does it until the virus is eradicated.
That's not going to happen so let's not take the economic impact now as China has until the whole world has to take it and the British global status quo is maintained.
Yeah, a load of old grannies are gonna die but that's collateral damage and we can politic that into a Chinese virus that hardens/strengthens the right wing base in the over 40s.
This strategy assumes earned immunisation from recovery.
