Annual road deaths were around 4k, about 2 days of current pandemic WITh a lot of mitigation in placeComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostMaybe you should pose this to the next briefing "Aren't the covid death figures misleading as they include covid sufferers run over and shot"? See if Matt/Boris can keep a straight face. I wonder if they keep an informal record of the dumbest question they had to answer?"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by Scoobos View PostHate to say it, but look at Japan. More populated, bigger average age, bigger air travel hub in Tokyo than London , similar lockdown style, but simply implemented decisively, quickly and authoritatively.
I strongly believe the difference is indecisive leadership and very very poor decisions. All the experts in containing epidemics say it isn't necessarily what action you take, more than the speed and decisiveness that you take the action with.
We've mishandled this worse than anyone - at least America and Brazil were open about not giving a damn.
The only country (I think) that has a worse death per million rate is Italy and they were hit first with no real warning. (xogotth posted same time, there are a couple, but I think the point is still relevant)
I worked, during the initial pandemic on a core Covid project with Public health services and I was apalled when it became obvious that the current leadership had no confidence or faith in them, and simply wanted to call them "unable" or "failures" and then go to the Private sector on the premise that it would do better.
It's done far, far worse than NHS Digital, or PHE, PHS or PHW would have done. Far worse.
There's another poster on here I remember reading at the time, that I think was on a similar gig to me - and they also said that NHS Digital were not even approached.
For me, it's all been about politicising everything and trying to make a statement that we could not rely on the Public Sector and simply had to use multinational private companies. (local private companies were also massively ignored, with PPE production, Offers of test and trace assistance etc, in favor of Serco et al.)
And a good dose of real corruption thrown in for good measure, like, just to make sure.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
