That's true Tolmie. Most countries I have visited consider Brits as rather eccentric and rebellious nutters.
WE do not do an awful lot to dissuade them of that impression.
I have never seen any evidence of that at all unless I've missed something. Are you suggesting that people won't give one or the other credit due too their political leaning or something? Can't quite work out your point.
in our experience its pointless going for a test these days. my daughter got tested a week ago last friday. has never heard back at all about her result and has rung up over twenty times and never been able to speak to anybody. Totally shambollic.
It is down to population density and to be fair to them they are doing the social distancing thing far better than we are.not disputing that sweden was really hard hit, just wondering why its doing so well now. its clearly isnt just down to population density otherwise they wouldnt have been hit so hard in the first place. Something else is happening that we need to understand as Heald has stated.
I've worked in Stockholm, great place, people very chilled - respectful of their environment - smart, welcoming people.
In isolation, it's too simplistic for people to try and correlate numbers with a country like Sweden and the UK.
Every nation has their fair share of knuckle draggers but we have no equal, sadly.
And then they go and smash up some other country for a 'holiday'.
Afraid so Ayrshire. As soon as the windows close and the heating gets ramped up then it's going to spread like wild fire :((I know most of the experts predicted a second wave, but did they predict when things might start to improve again? Ie are we in for a shitty 8 months or so now until the sun comes back out again?
News is absolutely depressing.
