@nicblackshaw @RickOShea54321 NZ is the absolute worst comparison. For a start, Heathrow is an international hub and it’s estimated that the virus was introduced into the UK 1300+ separate times before March 2020. NZ is a remote island with extremely low population and would never have faced that problem.
@RickOShea54321 Additionally, Vietnam is still very good at caring for its elderly - it’s very common for 3-4 generations to live under one roof. So covid ripping through care homes isn’t so much of a thing.
@RickOShea54321 Less than 8% of Vietnam’s population is aged over 65. 18% of Great Britain’s population is aged over 65. I wish people would stop comparing countries like they’re all the same or facing the same challenges.
@curryspcworld I need a phone number to deal with a return. Your automated forms don’t work and I need to speak to a human! 03445611234 is infuriatingly useless!
@CJrpeake @aMember3 @PhilScottMRTPI @BBCBreakfast I agree that the UK has been too slow to implement policies to slow the virus and protect people. But compare it to countries with similar circumstances, population, position, age demographic etc. not to NZ or Australia.
@CJrpeake @PhilScottMRTPI @BBCBreakfast NZ has 5m people total. The UK has 9m people aged over 70. And the global hub issue is massive - by March the virus had been introduced to the UK at least 1300 times, an issue that NZ would never have had. Its not comparing apples with apples.
@TheLoneRanger00 @TimothyJame5 @SkyNews Exactly Adam. People don’t see the difference when the differences are vast.

@18ClarendonSq @lickspit @JohannaSaunders @Conservatives To be really clear, I’m not defending the handling of the pandemic by our gov!! I’m just saying we should recognise not all countries are equal in the obstacles they face to overcome it.
@18ClarendonSq @lickspit @JohannaSaunders @Conservatives Both have a lower population density than the UK. And I wouldn’t count on either reporting covid deaths as honestly and diligently as the NHS. In fact back in April 2020 China was pretty well accused of fudging its figures.
@RobertLee_1944 @matadorbooks @RobertLee_1944 I don’t suppose you know if your great uncle’s letters mention a Quilter, please? Was he in the RND?
@lickspit @JohannaSaunders @Conservatives The UK also has one of the highest population densities in Europe. Not saying the leaders of UK countries have been great, however.
@Daz_Hockey @starlinguk @alirobson @exitthelemming When did I say anything was aye okay? It’s a big burden all round.
@Daz_Hockey @starlinguk @alirobson @exitthelemming No they haven’t...
@Daz_Hockey @starlinguk @alirobson @exitthelemming You’re being needlessly aggressive. I agreed that it was right to close schools, but I also said that the vulnerable and elderly should be shielding. All shoulders to the wheel and stop blaming young people.
@Daz_Hockey @starlinguk @alirobson @exitthelemming a new variant. Why? Because of concerns over their emotional well-being. It’s hard to explain to young people why their lives are on hold and I think we should all be very proud of them for taking their part of this crisis on the chin.
@Daz_Hockey @starlinguk @alirobson @exitthelemming A little patronising @Daz_Hockey 6 months off school in 2020 was very disruptive to kids’ education and emotional well-being. Obviously it couldn’t be helped. However, this time the govt hasn’t even asked the elderly and vulnerable to shield and we’re in a worse predicament with
@KatyMontgomerie I wish I could remember who wrote this first, but, "It's only cancel culture if it's from the Cancelle region of France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling consequences."
@BBCOne ... school recorded it and we all watched it together in the school hall on the Monday. Lovely memories, and now I’m reading the book to my kids. Would LOVE to see a remake for this generation! (2/2)
