I was using the numbers from the Italian and South Korean studies which have no-one under 30 dying and have lower percentages than China for 30-39yr olds. I wouldn't be so blase about 0.2%.

If we knew the probability of a more deadly mutation then 0.2% could be a no-brainer assuming it offers some immunity.

How gas the mood changed now in the UK after Boris' team addmitted 400,000 thousand would die with their plan. Are people willing to do the soft lockdown or are they ignoring it?

Who's plan? Imperial College's?

Yeah most people trust ICL and understand that some measures that seem common sense can do more harm than good. We're less than a week away from the full lockdown, imo. I'm pretty sure ICL have their reasons for why it's better to slowly introduce measures instead of doing things like surprise lockdowns that result in people fleeing to the rest of the country when the plans are leaked to the press.
