There are large sparse areas but the density argument for the UK has always felt stretched. Few cities are that dense that reasonable measures can't be enforced, it's always felt like a wriggle out excuse for a nation who has dropped measures months too early every time.

Don't think I could agree with that - population density obviiously has an impact. Rutland is sparsely populated and it has a death rate of 0.00488% - if people were packed in like they are in NY, it'd be far higher. There is large variation between districts depending on the population density.Comment

It'll definitely be higher in populated areas than less densely packed ones but, this is just my feeling, that places here aren't armpit to armpit for the most part especially in the last year where varying levels of restrictions have been in place. It veers from either places are densely populated to the point contact is unavoidable which is why it's been so bad here or its avoidable and been disasterously handled.Comment

Those ratios are wrong. The US has about 5 times the population of the UK but has had about 4.3 times as many total deaths. So the UK really is plague island.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment

I don't find that surprising - I wouldn't be surprised in the Tokyo Olympics gets cancelled too, even if every country is well into their vaccination programmes, it could be a spark that sets the whole thing off again as all different countries from across the world mix together in one place.

It actually makes the US a lot closer to the UK (so the UK less bad).Last edited by MartyG; 21-01-2021, 13:24.Comment

Delivery driver i have sometimes caught a middle aged couple just coming back from the shops with no masks naturally, their door said “nock and leave parcels in porch, isolating due to testing positive”.
When English people stop behaving like utter w*****s like this, then it may start to flatten and eventually slow.
Better get used to being in permanent lock down from now on then UK.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 21-01-2021, 15:46.Comment

I'm starting to get fed up. Realistically it seems that the entire year of 2021 is going to be a complete write-off, worse than 2020 probably. Summer will either be lockdown or something close to it. The government vaccination plans for autumn will probably slip into winter at least. I keep looking at my holiday photos and thinking how long away it all is. Just annoys me.Comment

Stop looking at your holiday photos. Problem solved.
I trust my invoice will be paid promptly.Comment

It'll be paid as soon as the virus is sorted, so possibly in the form of some kind of futuristic currency (or a bartering system).Comment
