I'll stick by my point above - we are acting 3rd world thanks to the nasty scum bags who write crap for their income.
You are clearly an angry person who hasn’t got over the loss of yet another General Election, which is actually yesterday’s news. People like Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and John McDonnell were the authors of their own downfall together with a manifesto that made the party unelectable.
Back to the thread. Countries are shutting the door after the horse has bolted but there is an argument that restrictions on entry could still make a difference. This virus can’t be stopped now, most people accept that point so it comes down to controlling the speed of the infection rate to build up the populations immunity in a controlled manner, if that is even possible, and to keep it away from elderly people. When enough people have immunity it will help keep others safe and reduce the impact of further waves of infections hitting the U.K. next winter.
We can see what is happening in Italy where their health service is overwhelmed. This is going to happen to not only the NHS but most health services in Europe so is a frightening prospect as people will die due to a lack of treatment.
It might not happen in America where many Americans would rather die than pay the deductibles which insurance companies charge. Then there is of course those millions of Americans with no insurance who could not even afford the $2000 for a ride in an ambulance let alone any treatment.
It will be interesting to see the final death rates for America compared with Europe with its socialised health care.
