Monti was (one of the very few) appointed to the senate and was not elected.
My point was that in times of national crisis, we need a mechanism whereby science trumps politics so decisions are based on contemporaneous medical thinking, and not how matters may look come the next election. whatever that mechanism is is up for debate.
Yep, it's also true of people in Outer China. Locals also wear face masks in the cities when pollution is bad.
Masks were one of the things I had in mind with the cultural difference. Also they are less likely to feel they have to rebel against government advice, unlike the western libertarians.
We do need to be careful when making international comparisons as the practices of recording deaths varies from country to country. An ONS report
http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati...uarytojune2020
confirmed this by stating:
"Given the widely differing practices between countries in recording and reporting deaths relating to COVID-19 it is not possible at this time to conduct accurate international comparisons of deaths involving COVID-19 specifically."
What we can say is that the situation in the UK is very bad and has not been handled well apart from the vaccine rollout which has been exemplary.
It would be funny to have a message board meet up after all this calms down, if only to put some usernames to faces:hehe: I’m sure we’d all get along just fine....with plenty of things to chat and laugh about. I owe Matt a few pints anyway for his Disney info service....

The “big plus... the speed in which we procured vaccines...”
Bit like getting a shot of penicillin after you caught the fuucking clap.

I think you missed the point. The vaccine does prevent it.
