how dare you criticize and belittle someone for asking legitimate questions

The only thing we did handle correctly was the furlough scheme.

@AdamS You cant compare Taiwan and UK. Different populations.

@SPEARS seemingly 100% of covid would be from covid

@SPEARS .. covid is not walk in the park. And shouldn't be treated as a Flu or the sniffles.

If we compare populations we should 27deaths. We have 60,000+

yes, but it isn't

Unless you traffic in Bs data

Borders left open, the prime minister was telling everyone to shake hands, I think he actually bragged about being in hospital shaking COVID patients hands, then like a week later he was in intensive car. Just a bumpy start you know

@AdamS ya, but you cant compare two different cultures. Virus epidemiology has a "C" factor that is extremely important.

@Beth agreed. That was stupid of Boris.

You have to laugh in these situations or we will all be in the mad house 😂

We all went into lockdown, what do we have to compare? We abided by the rules...the government did not. It’s about applying the protocols to the system not the people.

Terrible start and it continues

Even if lets say we take 100k dead person didn't die from Covid. We still Number 1 160k dead people.

I always laugh, @Beth . I have found nothing in life worth taking seriously.

including death

you don't know 20 healthy people that have died from covid. either english isnt your first language or you are lying. many covid cases do not have symptons

I do worry about my family over there, just everyone needs to be wary but we have to live life whilst we can

everyone's fear mongering here over a virus that has a 99 percent survival rate is disugsting

all of you should be ashamed for entertaining this narrative

I am never ashamed either,.

Agreed. Furthermore we are opening up lockdown for five days for Christmas. This will be disastrous.

I had to swear once, to live without shame.

I’m sensitive when it comes to death, but looking back when time passes it’s laughing that makes it all bearable

@SPEARS.. like i said i live in NYC. In Queens. Jackson heights have 1 of 6 were infected

@Beth It is a choice. You can look for the entertainment, or you can look for the pain. Most peopel look for a reason to be hysterics.

U.K. is up 600 deaths a week / every week on average compared to last 5 years.

If governments pushed out other death total information on a minute-by-minute basis that data would be quite scary.

I know to be fair I had a rant about that one, like the virus will not be around for 5 days. But Christmas is tough for many people on a good year, so I’m torn. Loneliness kills to🤷🏼‍♀️

@Beth, you just advanced to level 11!

@SPEARS ok Spears. I rest my case. If u dont live it u might not believe it .

We're all going to die

Have to get the balance right. We cannot seem to do so with Boris.

and how many people do you know personally that have died?

@busillis I want to see bathroom deaths pr hr and @Beth wants sock-deaths.

3

But probably not from bat SARS

how old were they?

Some of us can do math. 99% survival rating means of 1% death rate and 1% of 320 million is 3.2 million. That's a lot of folks. The seasonal flu is 99.95% survival rate and the fractions of percentages make all the difference in the world.

When you have had many hysterics without looking for them, you eventually have to find the funny side, or you’re f****d and miserable
