The regional disparities seemingly ignored in the Governments easing of the lockdown?

Yes, this is true, but I wasn't meaning total immunity. I was meaning a reduced rate of infection, which starts to become apparent at a much lower level. There seems little down that many hundreds of thousands of people in London will have been infected?

Nobody has any idea yet how many people have been infected.

I only know of one person who had very specific symptoms around the right time.

Yes London is packed with people and the tube is obviously a major spreader, but London has probably the highest percentage of people able to work from home.

Like most major cities it went to a ghost town overnight.

So I have no gut feeling regarding how infected London actually is/was.

I think the fear of Londoners (like myself) is that the lockdown actually worked, but as we ease back out of it the infection rate it will simply rise again.

I also wonder whether we’re seeing the beginnings of herd immunity in London.
