This question however merits serious discussion.

It's very easy for some of us (and i include myself) to site and ride this out, we have nice homes, lots of subscription tv services, gardens etc.

There are areas of Middlesbrough (I'm sure down your way also is the same and the rest of the country) where the housing is back to back two up two down with no gardens, poverty etc.)

The mayor of Middlesbrough in his infinite wisdom has kept parks closed denying access to those that need access to green space the most

Your opinions are so wrong as to be absolutely dangerous Old Boy.

There's a reason why Germany and South Korea have relatively few deaths and a reason the UK, Spain and Italy have a high number.
You can also add Greece and New Zealand to the list of countries that did 'well' in terms of cases and deaths. Greece i think had 'just' 139 recorded deaths.

The saddest thing of all is that so much of this could have been avoided had we looked to other countries who were ahead of us in terms of the outbreak.

The UK dilly dallied with it's response and as such we are paying a higher price than we could of been.
