I think 0762's second last sentence is a way over the top reaction to an emotive subject. It wouldn't have mattered who was in power, the outcome would have been roughly the same. Only a handful of countries have approached the pandemic on the basis of common sense - the rest have followed scientific modelling and flattening the curve. Sheer folly, but we are where we are, which will unfortunately lead to us to be a world leader in the worst possible way.
