But why can a country like Sweden go through the pandemic with no masks and have a statistically insignificant death rate and an infection rate much lower than us? I've been twice in the past 9 months and didn't see a single mask on anyone at any time. Their current situation is much better than ours and their overall situation compares favourably too. 

 

I don't think that it's as simple as "everyone put on masks and keep 2m distant". In the UK we've been treated like total idiots. We've had all personal responsibility stripped away from us through much of this, and then randomly been given it all back in a rush. Think Eat out to help out and now the 19th of July. Infection rates are going to skyrocket again because there is no happy middle ground where the individual assumes personal responsibility and shows mutual respect. It's government diktat or total personal freedom. 

 

I expect that before the schools go back in September that the government will have reimposed restrictions of some description.

Thought we’d been over this regarding Sweden. They are slimmer, healthier and far less densely populated than the uk. Of course they are not going to suffer the same.

 

as for being treated like total idiots in the uk, many of us are!

They are certainly slimmer and healthier, but the proportion that live in urban settings is actually a little higher than here (86% as opposed to 83% here).

Ok, didn’t realise that.

 

the weight is a huge factor. I know a few nurses are they same the same thing, just about all patients dying form covid are overweight.

I dont see why people who look after their health here in the UK should suffer because of those who refuse to do the same

 

We have had the repercussions of a slovenly lifestyle and a poor diet drummed into us from the Government and the NHS for decades now

 

But as Big J mentioned, the figures for the US are almost on a par with the UK and Scandinavia and we can hardly say that they are slimmer, healthier and far less densely populated the UK can we?

And you know full well there is no bad feeling between us, or I'm mistaken again.

All good at my end.

We’ll get a pint one day and I’m sure we’ll have a blast.
