We barely had R under 1 and are relaxing lockdowns. There is no way this does not lead to a completely uncontrolled spread.

You cannot possibly know the true R rate, unless you undertake repeated widespread sample testing.
Any public health official who cites such a stat should be asked to show his mathematical model, which would simply never happen, because it would allow the community of independent epidemiologists and statisticians around the world, to rip it apart.


Classic example of GIGO. But if you want a garbage result, then it's perfect.

Assuming you make the best possible protection available to the most vulnerable, a 'completely uncontrolled spread' is actually not an irrational strategy.
But sensible, pragmatic social distancing, replacing lockdown is the way to go.
Unless one's intention is to destroy the economy.
With such an intent, lockdown is perfect.

In the UK, Q2 GDP is predicted to fall by 35%....
And we are now close to moving into Q3 with nothing changing.
