Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?It is an awful prospect I am dreading it but the prospect of what will happen if we don't do this is worse. We simply do not have enough hospital and intensive care beds to deal with this awful virus. In Italy it is like a war zone they are not treating people over 65 or with pre existing conditions, they can only treat people with the best chance of surviving, that is the grim reality.. Even if you are healthy your immune system declines with age, so the best chance of getting through this is to protect yourself, this also gives our NHS the best chance of being able to treat you if you do fall ill.
