BUZZING
Not at all, just showing my original comments stand, no country is doing well.

I dunno - shit looks pretty normal in Australia and New Zealand
Yeah, not good. I reckon that new strains already elsewhere. Birmingham (in T3 since end of lockdown) has seen cases go up 25% this week (and cases were 567 today after being around 300 up to a few day’s ago)
Just an absolute bitch with the timing
Not really fair comparisons to. The uk though are they?
Australia is 3/4 the size of America and 25m population vs what 300m?
New Zealand 5m population vs UK 70 million.
New Zealand is what 10% bigger than the UK with not even 10% the population.
I should of stated my original comment was any major country
New strain will be everywhere now. Even in other countries.

Well could compare infection rates and deaths proportionately
All 3 of us are islands.
They got control of it pretty well, which included some very sensible restrictions in terms of people coming to and from the country.
Our response was and continues to be a fucking shambles. Only the USA and Brazil have responded in a worse way than us.
Not saying our response was great, but I know not one person in our goverment would have responded any differently.

Sorry I’m confused - are you saying we’ve responded in the same way as countries like Aus and NZ?
Also the uk maybe a island but we are a hub for world wide travel, alot of layoffs happen here and many other European cou trys.
No, not at all but its a completely different situation, we ain't similar to aus or nz apart from the island factor we have nothing in common,
Not true is everything running in the eastern hemisphere?
They're democracies.
But talking about Australia, they found the new strain there the same one they found in London so who knows what's gona happen now, just have to live with what the goverment set and stop being selfish pricks.
So are we? Don't see your point.
Not all, believe what you will though, I still feel. Huna are struggling wimhich is why they locked msot of the foreign news out of there.
Yes the foreign Office permitted Interntional travel the others didn't,and when they did they enforced a two week quarantine.
We didn't .
They decided they would attempt to keep it out
We chose a different path.
Well you said we have nothing else in common.
But the point I'm really making is they enforced harsher measures at the risk of becoming unpopular and decided to implement them.
Now their populations are happy they chose to
We chose the same path as 98% of the world, talking about borders Russia stopped income traffic very fast shutting borders ect they don't seem to be doing well, only cou try I will give props to is sk.
But Australia are still suffering with it, new Zealand just didn't have enough population density for it to spread.
And that's why it's gona spread like crazy, noone is gona follow goverment guidelines, we are tier 3 we are allowed to mix in Xmas day.Disregarding latest announcement, sticking to original family plans, across the whole festive period.
Yes Oz have had a couple of wobbles that confused them .
And had other harsh measures intruced.
NZ has been like keeping from a large capital admittedly from a lower density per mile,kilometer etc .

But that’s because we have a government of morons, not because there wasn’t better options to choose.
You see I'm half with you apart from the China bogeyman cannot trust a word stuff.
I blame two parties for the spread, China and who that is my stance and if you have another opinion then that's fine but I won't change mine.

Millions have sensibly stuck to rules all year. I don’t blame anyone for losing patience. Not missing out seeing intimate family anymore.

Kieran back, still spo
Shame the bollocks hasn't stopped.Yep.
I just think if China done what they were suppose to and looked into reports faster than what they did they're is a massive chance the world wouldn't be so fuxked but they didn't I mean. Y mates think it's something theyve done porposly to fuck everyone's economy I just think they didn't play enough atte tion.
I repeat there's a difference locking a few million down compared to tens if not hundreds of millions.
