We've all read many angry, conspiracy theory tweets & FB posts pushing the "UK govt tried the herd immunity approach & that's why people are dying" line. I just read one by @UniKent academic @HeejungChung so i thought i'd try & help by explaining.
But:
No, thought not. But you pay someone who does.
Before asking your boss/board/CEO/manager to part with cash/resources/time etc to deliver an exciting new project
This section - the clue is in the name - sets out "options".
"we could do A or B or C or D.
Here are the costs/benefits/upsides/downsides of each of these.
Having compared them, i/we recommend you endorse option X & then give me/us the authority/cash/people/time to go and make it happen"
And 1 option common to almost every options appraisal is called the "do nothing option".
This describes what the outcome would be if we literally do nothing.
But make no mistake: including a do-nothing option is nothing more or less than a sign of a professional at work.
Just as i would always expect the mechanic servicing my engine (if i were able to resist the overwhelming temptation to do it myself that tends to strike me)to always check that nothing done would alter the cam timing.
You don't have to know about cam timing.
You don't have to know about options appraisals.
But please, show the basic social skill of knowing what you do and what you do not know about.
And then...
The "do-nothing option" in this case is that you ignore this advice & instead continue being a socially destructive utter twat.
