Short story of what happened in UK:

Plan A: "Herd immunity": ~250k deaths, reduce disruption on the economy.

Public: Uh, wut now?

Plan B: "Social distancing" but without proper testing, contact tracing, or provision of health services. Clap for NHS.

Today: ~1k deaths a day (or closer to ~2k depending on how you count the deaths).

Plan C: Clap for Boris.

Public: Fuck off.


There's plenty of countries doing better than the UK right now; you can't make excuses for all of them.
