I’d just like to reiterate my points are in response to Bucks argument about ‘getting the virus under control’ in the UK otherwise attention to other countries less technologically advanced is ‘virtue signalling’. This is absolutely central to the OP and I’ve looked in to scientific experts opinion on it, some of which is currently advising our government. I’ve backed up my opinion with research. If you can provide credible alternative analyses it would give your argument some weight Bucks. Can’t rely on your non-expert views.
