Main dog , the problem is that UK is doing absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of this viral disease . The NHS is nowhere near ready for the wave of infections that are about to hit them . The UK should have banned large gatherings they haven’t . People will die because of a lack of respirators which is going to be the biggest issue . Elderly people those undergoing chemo or on drugs to suppress the immune system . COPD sufferers, basically anyone with an underlying health condition may need a bed in an ICU and the doctors much like Italy will have to decide if they are going to throw granny out to give her bed to a younger person , as ACMS correctly stated HK Singapore and Taiwan took early corrective steps plus viruses do not like hot humid conditions with lots of sunlight . But they thrive in cramped crowded conditions.
we will see how Boris’s policies work out .. I read an article that suggested that the hospitals in the USA will be overrun in 8 days we shall see .
good luck to everyone , stay safe out there
