Prior to the vaccination rollout, many developed countries recorded high death rates from COVID, especially when comparing to less developed nations.
There are many arguments why which have ranged from poor Government responses in the UK, slow reactions, under-funding for healthcare systems over the years etc...
The current world of political correctness and fear of offending people in my opinion has caused a lot of unnecessary deaths and no government would realistically make the following suggestion-
The UK has recorded a large number of Covid deaths, especially when comparing to other nations but we have to remember that we have kept many people alive that would not survive in other nations. We have created generations of [morbidly] obese people which again we have been able to keep alive where other nations are unable to.
The reality of the situation we have a population susceptible to ill-health and we re limited on how many years we can artificially add to life expectancy, so when a new illness occurs, it is the success of our successive healthcare that we suffer the greatest now.
I wonder how much validity is in the above and how the Government can slowly maneuver the population without being called a nanny state.
