Brexit- a contributory factor to the governments response to Covid -19

Jump to newest

Given that so many government departments have, in the last 6 months, been heavy geared towards Brexit- has this been a contributing factor to the slow and mixed response to Covid-19.

My own opinion is that the government has been completely blindsided by the virus. It has completely underestimated this virus, in its contagious nature and it’s knock on effects. The warning signs were there in early February but it’s only in the last two weeks that the government has acted correctly.

The fact that we have officially withdrawn from various EU organisations such as the European Medicines Agency is probably not helping - on the other hand most other European countries (perhaps except Germany) do not seem to be coping much better than we are.

The estimated £130 billion we've flushed down the brexit toilet would come in handy around now too.

Germany has a quarter of the number of deaths as the UK currently and their infection rate is slowing- so I think they are doing better than most

I think the death rates vary quite a bit from country to country and the Uk had the advantage of being infected much later than other countries with Covid so had more time prepare, yet our death rate relative to the timing of the first case is very high.

Not entirely accurate. China, S. Korea and a few other countries (who learned their lessons from SARS) took immediate action, testing, tracking contacts and quarantining.

This has kept their infections (and therefore deaths) much lower than e.g. Italy, Spain, UK...

China learned the lesson of SARS and set up a new reporting system, that would was supposed to make it more difficult for information to be covered up.

The new system failed, and there was still some delay in Beijing being informed, at which point immediate action was taken.

At least the £230million a week for the NHS if we leave brexit is actually happening now.
