Someone I know attended a briefing from a representative from Public Health England for his work (works in the council or something). Said the high point is predicted to be June/July and they reckon that 80% of the population will get it at some point. Apparently it is nearly impossible to get it via transmission in the air, you'd need to be within a metre or two of someone very ill for 15 mins or so. Transmission is mainly through surfaces, hence the wash your hands line
