The virus can get anywhere with people travelling Mock.
Sadly in the USA and Brazil, they have leaders who have played down this virus.
Just haven't really even acknowledged the danger from it.
So the results don't surprise me over there.
Here in the UK, as with the USA and S America, we had the forewarnings of what was coming.
We saw in February, the desperate plight Italy was ending up in.
We too, sat about, not planning effectively, waiting to enact reactive catch up action, as things arose.
It was stated by those advising our government, a good result, ( odd term good result) would be for UK deaths to be on or below 20,000.
They're already more than double that on the figures given by the government and believed to be actually over 3 times that amount.
Yet there's people applauding this government's dangerous and scandalous performance on this.
That we are up there with the USA and Brazil, in the top 3 of the worst Nations for deaths with still rising deaths too.
To use the term good in any context on death figures, is insulting to the likely hundreds of thousands who've lost loved ones to this pestilence.
I guess it's easy to do for those who haven't lost any loved ones to it.
Rather than be thankful and show understanding.
They call more deaths as good figures and even bring humour into play.
Also Johnson's disgraceful slur to Care homes too.
Is just about one of the lowest acts he has taken his performance to, on this pandemic too.
I just hope any investigation eventually into this and our government's handling of it.
Will be done with total independence with everything known on the table.
Because this government needs to have the buck stop fully at their door.
For their incompetence, negligence, procrastination, deceit, blatant lies and risking the lives dangerously of so many elderly in hospital and Care homes.
The blame lies mostly with the government and its failure to prepare,even with months of forewarnings of what was coming.
Desperately and devastatingly sad, and for millions, life can never now be the same, ever likely again.
