Coronavirus

Meanwhile the Telegraph is saying a tier 4 will be implemented

I think this virus shows whoever is in charge it makes no difference. See the rest of the world/europe for clues.

Germany 10k, UK 46k deaths...thanks for the clues.
------
I guess they could go for tier 4 instead.

either way, what a fucker

Well done for picking the lowest.

that's the point isn't it

Govt launching an official leak enquiry. Haha fuck off

Looking at one stat isn't, not really. How did Germany keep the death rate really low considering the high number of infections? France and Spain have both had higher infection rates than the UK. The UK death rate was higher but mostly from the first wave.
Looking further afield Mexico has slightly less total infections recorded than the UK but double the death rate.

Not true.  A large majority of 'the people' have done everything asked of them.

I've seen lots of this circulating in recent weeks.  'Lockdown #2 is the people's fault' etc.  You might as well add 'Signed D Cummings' at the bottom.  It's disingenuous blame shifting from a government that had the best part of half a year to get a properly functioning track & trace system ready in time for autumn/winter.  They failed.  And now it's our fault.  Shower of bastards, the lot of them.

I'm not saying that the large majority of people haven't but unless the small minority of people aren't included in the general public, my point stands.  I'm not for any moment saying the government hasn't done a good job at all.

However, test and trace can not stop people breaking the rules, i have seen surverys saying less than 20% of people fully comply with isolating.  One issue with test and trace is people not giving details or not picking up when called, this is the fault of the genereal public?

Scandinavia is quite intriguing
Sweden 5,938
Denmark 719
Norway 282
Finland 358
Iceland 10

Sparsely populated, cold? Who knows.

It's been said here on many times, the best way to look is excess deaths and population size.  This doesn't show the UK is doing any better though

Track and trace worked absolutely brilliantly in South Korea (they had learned from a previous pandemic so were ahead of the curve and very prepared) where the people in general tend to tow the line and do as they are asked in order to make it work.

The culture in Western countries is very different and people’s behaviour makes this challenging. I mean we are encouraged to wear a little bit of cloth to go shopping to try and slow the spread of the virus but for many, this is a huge problem and an affront to their ‘freedom’
