Why does everyone seem to think coronavirus death stats are like a score of how well your government is doing in response to the pandemic. If you didn't manage to stop the virus entering your country, which you can't without destroying international travel and your economy, then the end game is 60-70 percent of your population having had it. As long as people aren't dying in your country due to lack of medical care then you've not done too bad right?

We cannot avoid most people contracting this virus so why are people keeping running totals of deaths as a score card? I guess we like the idea that we could have stopped it and it gives us a sense of control and something to rage against.

The UK government is estimating that 1/1000 people have had it already. If true that means our final death toll could be in the millions right? we don't talk about that thou, we just say, lockdown should have happened a week earlier! We could have saved 2000 lives. Ok, is that 2000 lives OVERALL, like final figures or is it just 2000 lives by this point?

And the idea that it's just the UK government... 1/6 people said they'd ignore the governments advise on face coverings on public transport. Basically the UK is a load of raging, entitled children for the most part, we don't want to sacrifice anything and we want other people to fix things for us... Cos it's "their job"
