As long as you get it.

Had it a few weeks back.

Looks like it will be tier 4 everywhere soon enough lol

More to the point the UK as an island is way too populated. You look at other islands and the virus doesnt have the opportunity to spread much whereas we are packed in like sardines.

The government had to know this would happen too

Why did they take so long to announce it?

They needed to get out of London themselves, and it would have suppressed economic activity.

At one point, we were the only country in the world that did not have any restrictions on incoming visitors from any country in the world.

No.

No.

Taiwan is one of the most overpopulated places on earth so not a great example mate!

Still the UK population is about 40 odd million higher than Taiwan albeit less densely populated.

There’s plenty of other countries with a lot more landmass which have had bad outbreaks. The US being a prime example.

Haha after the Christmas dinner I usually survive happily on a diet of single malt and blue cheese until I have to go back to work.

I'll still have a stash of roquefort but it's unlikely to make it to boxing day ha.

Single malt and blue cheese. Sounds like heaven. Hope you have at least a 10 year old malt to gorge on

Headlines on sky, BBC and some papers. Is the new mutant of the virus more deadly. Solid journalism!! Don't let facts get in the way of scare stories

12yr old Buunahaibhan was my chosen Christmas bottle this year.

Although I accidentally drank most of it last night unfortunately.

Taiwan and South Korea are (IIRC) much more densely populated than we are. HK absolutely is. All of them have done far better than we have.

Yes.

And despite a population density more than twice as high as Britain's, Taiwan has had 7 coronavirus deaths while we have had 67,000.
