Re: Coronavirus
People do keep on about the success in New Zealand especially (the Asian countries are a bit different as the public behaviour to government is different). But geographically New Zealand is in a fortunate position. They don't have boat loads of people trying to get in across a small body of water any one of whom could bring in the virus past a border lockdown.
They also have a much smaller population (half population of Greater London - 2012) than us and is a bit bigger in land area. Makes it easier to lockdown hard for a short period and clear out the virus and keep it out. |

Public behaviour is often touted - people more likely to adhere to rules etc. Well if people open their eyes they should see that's a small price to pay for a semblance of normality. It'd also get the internal economy back on it's feet sooner. But no, it's too hard/too costly continues to be the mantra. I'm sure when we reflect on the costs in a few years it'd have been a relative bargain. |
Re: Coronavirus
But even if you segment up the UK how do you stop people moving between areas? Road blocks? How do you stop people walking cross country? What about people how live on the "border" that work in one area and live in another?
Population is important - NZ has a total population of say 5 million. The UK has 70 million in roughly the same land area. And population behaviour is important - the western mindset is more tuned to individuality than society. We say people should but they don't. And I do agree the costs will show to be bigger in the long run. New Zealand is "successful" because it can isolate itself. The Asian countries have some success because the populations do what they are told (or even suggested). We have neither advantage. |

Not good news given the tier lockdown level 3 which is going to be announced for many parts of the north later today by the government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJwW...TheIndependent |

Re: Coronavirus
We must be doing something right in Worthing as together with Cornwall and several other places we have a falling infection rate.
It could be having a large number of elderly living here that they're keeping their heads down. |
