I wish people would stop interjecting into this discussion with 'It doesn't really matter' or 'who cares?' - we all know lives are the most important thing, but this could be a long lay-off from sport and entertainment, and there may be quite some time stuck in your house. We have to go about things with a sense of normality or else people's mental health will go long before their physical health.
Personally I have little truck with the doom-mongers tolling an imaginary bell and intoning that there will be feral bands roaming the streets and eight million in hospital. We've taken a stance to an extent I've never seen in my 58 year lifetime, and if people don't physically mix they won't catch anything. Eight million would mean more or less every man woman and child becoming infected and ten percent being hospitalised. Really? And even then, not everyone gets it at once. It's a rolling thing - as some get it, others will recover, which is why shops won't close and supplies won't run out.
My wife has diabetes and a heart condition, and is disabled, but she isn't crying 'woe, woe and thrice woe' either. She's staying in, watching telly, and says if she still gets it, then she'll probably get through it. It's the thing to do, not obsessively watching worst-case scenario after worst-case scenario.
Can we not just have a little fun while we wait for the Reaper to come knocking and blaming the salmon mousse??
