I can’t keep up with all of the individual grudges on this board so I’m assuming you must’ve pissed Bob off at some point but I think I understood the intent of your OP.Originally Posted by life on mars
We’ve been in Canada for 10 years but almost every other part of our family is still in the UK. Naturally (for us at least) we make comparisons between the 2 countries. For almost the entirety of the pandemic the UK has appeared like a horror show compared to Canada, but Croesy did a reasonable job of articulating some of the contributing factors to that.
Yesterday the 2 numbers (cases and deaths) were very similar, and the trajectory has been that way for about 2-3 weeks now. Within the last year that had appeared highly unlikely to be the case, so while of course any death is tragic (it would be obtuse to suggest anything else) what appears to be true today is that the UK can, despite its pain of the last 12 months, see the end in sight... as can Canada, but just nowhere near as quickly and we have half the population.
I lost my Dad in the last 12 months, indirectly from covid, but my Mum, who is in Wales, still celebrates the fact that things are improving dramatically and if she drank pints I think she’d join you 👍
