pepe63xnotuse Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (*apart from them having absolutely nothing else to do with their day(s) - we'll take that as a given)- Why are some continually trying to score points (and/or gain solace?), when they interpret the seemingly worse death rates figures of other countries?..(be it EU countries or the USA etc?) Most on here, live in the UK,and as such it is how the UK government performs,and how it manages its various departments/systems/resources etc, that matters to us and our loved ones.. So it is natural enough is it not, for it to be the UK government that gets commented on. As for the Prime Minister of Belgium..I can't pretend to know how "incompetent" or not she is..

Someone has added the social distancing bit but you get the idea. I think we could be stuck with this for a year or more so the winners will be those who get it right as an ongoing concern.
