you are being a bit harsh on the UK government approach to this, they couldn't have done anything to improve things, it was too late already 2 weeks before they started to take actions
everyone in Europe was unprepared and in denial over the whole thing, and still is for that matter
stop the lockdown now,
No, you are mistaken. Denmark began its quarantine protocols in the beginning of March when the Italians were reeling from under the onslaught of the dead, a situation that BoJo and his henchmen treated with flippant disregard and did not address until the last weeks of March when they finally heeded the Italian warnings albeit three fucking weeks too fucking late - over 130,000 people were crammed into the stands at Cheltenham racecourse over four days up until March 13, four days before that fat, hapless Tory cvunt closed things down.
But unlike France and Germany, Britain had under the Tories dnuded the NHS of funds for a decade to the point that it had the least number of ICU beds and ventilators, and PPE in fucking Western Europe.
England will have the highest death count in all of Europe because of the criminal negligence of the worst government in living memory.
That fat bastard and Goebbels Cummings should be strung up for the crows to feed on.
And all switch-hitter sees is an opportunity to stick the boot into the EU.
What a risible clown he is.
DF - it was indeed already too late two weeks before they took action. So they should have acted three weeks prior, ffs.
It would also have helped if they hadn't been waging an austerity war against the NHS which began under Cameron.
The clown also mainly to blame for BREXIT, by pure coincidence.
But yeah, let's give the NHS a round of applause on Downing Street instead.
I bet that goes down really well on the wards.
:rolleyes:
Like France and Italy, governments have been cutting deep into their Healthcare facilities for decades, exactly like the UK did with the NHS
the number of exposure and death is not related to how late they acted, even 3 weeks was too late, FFS even 1 month prior was too late
the greatest number is also linked to the size of the population, I think 75millions in the UK
the blame is on every governments since 2000, and let's not forget that the Swedish model is working with no lockdown, so we actually fucked ourselves over this
bigger population in the UK, so perfectly normal and in line with statisticsQuote:

nothing to do with the lockdown slowing things down, au contraire, since the number keeps going up in Italy, France and Spain
interesting that in Germany where the lockdown was not that strict, they have been lower numbers
and of course the Swedish model that is proving to the world that lockdowns was pointless,
I also think the UK is better equipped collecting stats accurately than France or Italy, hence it could explain the small lead in the UK
again, statistically meaningless and perfectly in line with normal for the UK, regardless of the lockdown "trigger" date
anyway, it's not over, numbers will keep going up, so out of control
Speaking directly from the inside of a Government office, I can reveal that almost all Brexit related (it is referred to as EU-exit within these corridors) programmes have been halted in favour of COVID-19 related activities. Bizarrely enough, the entire machinery focused on processes for collecting funds (Customs Declaration, VAT, PAYE, Business Tax etc) is reversed completely and its main objective is now to build processes and technology to support PAYING funds.
That said, I would be incredibly surprised if the current dates aren't adjusted during the negotiations beginning May 11.
It surprises me that you think that, seeing as France has the CNI and the UK has nothing similar.Quote:

As for 'thinking'... why not give it a shot?
What have you got to lose?
The Swedes have the highest COVID death rate per capita and much higher than its Nordic neighbours.
the collection of death certificates and patient COVID reporting is done manually in France, information that is collected by telephone in a XLS spreadsheet at the MoH
during week-end, they can't report death certificates, so there will be some seasonality in the reporting on Monday
I believe the NHS has a fully automated process for that, much more advanced, and the privacy laws in the UK might not be as strict, so SS numbers are probably used and tracked for COVID
not per 1mil resident, check your stats, they have one of the lowest compared to France, the UK and ItalyQuote:

Pardon my french, but the Swedish version isn't working at all. In order to get an accurate view of the distribution, one must take the population density into account. In the UK, the population density is 274 people per km2. In Sweden it's 23. Here is an overview of the spread in a couple of countries with population AND density taken into account:Quote:

I post logical things, which for you is very confusing, hence why you like to send your ridiculous and pointless summons to everyone on TDQuote:

Just to give you an idea of the magnitude of the difference; Southport, with a population of 93,426 ranks as the 90th largest city in the UK. A pandemic spreads predominantly in population-dense areas. That is the reason why they have introduced social distancing (should be called PHYSICAL distancing, really).
As I said, the distribution of the pandemic should be measured nationally by using population and population density. That is the ONLY way you compare countries. And from that perspective, you only have to look at Norway and Finland (where there's a similar population density) to realise that Sweden is doing a piss poor job controlling the rate and volume of the spread.
I'm not sure of the methodology required in establish this proof but I think the extraordinarily low infection rate and its corresponding death count in Thailand could be attributed to the widespread cognitive impairment manifested by the population.
Any ideas anyone?
I think London Imperial College did the stats regarding this, and they have been pretty good so far in their estimatesQuote:
