Potential Solutions to COVID 19?

I see Boris Johnson has taken strong measures to protect the public health in the UK:

"Strict new curbs on life in the UK to tackle the spread of coronavirus have been announced by the prime minister.

As of now, people must stay at home except for shopping for basic necessities, daily exercise, medical or care need, and travelling to and from work where "absolutely necessary".

Shops selling non-essential goods are being told to shut and gatherings in public of more than two people who do not live together are to be prohibited.

The UK death toll has reached 335.

If people do not follow the rules police will have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings, Boris Johnson said in a televised statement from Downing Street.

Other premises including libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms, and places of worship must also close immediately. Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed.

The government is also stopping all social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies - but funerals will be allowed.

Businesses that will not need to close include:

Restaurants, cafes and work canteens - but only for food delivery and takeaway services
Supermarkets and other premises selling food, including market stalls
"Health shops" such as pharmacies
Petrol stations, garages and car rental businesses
Bicycle shops
Home and hardware shops
Launderettes and dry cleaners
Pet shops
Corner shops, newsagents and post offices
Banks
Mr Johnson said the country faced a "moment of national emergency" and staying at home was necessary to protect the NHS and save lives.

He said the restrictions would be in place for at least three weeks and would be kept under constant review."

Had to look up what you call Tylenol.

Yep, we're now in lockdown. Although the police are having trouble due to staff sickness, as stated in the article you quoted. Jeremy Corbyn has supported this and if it was not necessary we can be pretty certain he wouldn't.

We got 24 hours notice of this, warnings that this might happen came in the morning papers, so I did my only piece of panic buying today (23rd) ...[text shortened]... ocking up or of significant levels of the disease below the threshold for testing - i.e. mild cases.

Yes, sorry, I normally remember to put acetaminophen in brackets.
