Virus Discussions

Well, I don't know about Super Rugby, but New Zealand has
handled this virus thing so much better than the UK that I'm
sure they'll come out of lock down earlier. So he might yet get
to finish off with some rugby there.

It's a lot easier to deal with in a smaller country with a more
space of population....

Indeed. Having a low population density and being hundreds if
not thousands of miles away from everywhere other than Australia
helps too.

And stopping people from entering the country almost immediately
there was concern about the virus.

The thing is that basically everybody has got to catch the virus
to see if they build an immunity or go the other way. Can we
keep everybody in isolation until there is a vaccine?

If we did just wait until we have a vaccine, everyone has taken
the vaccine and then we wait again to see if/when the virus
mutates a bit...then all start again... then we will have no
economy left.

The uk government has been useless over this, why has it got so
bad? February half term. Allowing everyone to go to other
countries and not checking them when they get back. Then taking
too long to lockdown. It’s been a disaster from the start, look
at how Germany have dealt with it with a larger population.
As always UK arrogance has led to a lot of deaths. Also if EU
get a vaccine we will not be seeing it! Shambles
Why is an economy seen as more important then peoples live’s. If
spirts clubs go under and some companies fail then so be it.
This crises has shown the problems with capitalism and it may be
the end of it!

Germany is a federation. Comparing the UK to Germany (or New
Zealand) is pointless as you are not comparing applies with
apples. It would be far easier to control this outbreak is we
were a despotic dictatorship run by our own Kim Il-DOK with
closed borders. But we aren't.

Or we had a government that were not so lazy and did not want to
make a decision pre-longing the deaths and the tragedy. Still do
not get why we could have not controlled this country like
Germany?

The way the UK is dealing with the issue appears to be broadly
aligned with most of Europe. For instance, my head office is in
Belgium and the approach seems very similar. Yesterday, I was on
video conference calls with our offices, warehouses, research
facilities, factories and banks in Belgium, Germany and Italy. I
spend a substantial amount of time on these calls doing
small-talk rather than working due to my extreme laziness. The
situations on the ground do not appear to be as different as you
would think. The TV news does not always give you the full
picture.
Germany is a Federation - therefore easier to decentralise the
tackling of the outbreak. The UK is not - therefore, comparing
government approaches is pointless.
Lets get back on track about the rugby - otherwise we will need
to get this thread consigned to the other place.
