LONDON (AP) — Britain on Tuesday became the first country in Europe to confirm more than 30,000 coronavirus deaths, and infections rose sharply again in Russia, even as other nations made great strides in containing the scourge. China marked its third week with no new reported deaths, while South Korea restarted its baseball season.
“We’re doing GREAT! Staying ahead of all the others! Tracking just us I predicted! It should all be over in a week or two. Isn’t that right, Deborah? Come on up here and tell these people (pointing finger) all about it, why don’t you.”
UK admits that ramping up its response more quickly “would have been beneficial.”
Proving that understatement remains a hallmark of Britspeak.
Could the fact that both the US and Britain have “conservative” governments have anything to do with leading the world in corona deaths?
And the Gods mock DT again, this time for exempting the UK from the European travel ban.
I have been waiting for the UK to overtake Italy. The worst responses to Covid-19 in order are probably the US, UK, Russia, Brazil. US and UK take the prize as we both had lots of warning and the capacity to do much better.
The thing all have in common is right wing/fascist, science denying leadership.
30,000: sounds like another win for the Brexit mindset.
Let’s not forget Nicaragua – nominally a leftist, although his path has been somewhat like Mugabe’s was.
