" and false messages put out about the oxford vaccine, which the Germans are refusing to have in large numbers now even though they are trying to reverse the message." This will have long-borne implications on the trust German Citizens will have on the uptake of the Vaccine. It's very very sad that Brinksmanship was used at all by a Statesman of her calibre. | |||

"Given that they have had less than half the deaths we have, with a much bigger population, maybe we could trade with them how they achieved that?" This has been discussed on numerous occasions. Being that most of the UK deaths are actually English deaths I'm using England and not the UK. The population density of England is nearly twice that of Germany. Along with other things such as social aspects and obedience. | |||

How do you measure obedience exactly?

We were compared to Germany. Not Japan.
But whenever we are compared to other countries, populations density is a recurring factor.
It is a factor. Along with other things like I said
Yes and all others meaning we are spectacularly unlucky.
Come on ,you know its bollocks.
We probally have a few negative factors but we also had plenty of positives ,which should have meant we were in a strong position to deal with it.
Along with other factors. Are you really that thick?
Do I need to spell them all out for you?
Please do
I'm all ears"PD, half lockdowns, not closing borders, lockdown disobedience, PPE issues, ventilator issues, not enough professionals etc etc. I'm sure there's many more but those come to mind instantly | |||

Germany has 67,000 deaths in a population of 83m, we have 143,000 with 66m. So ifwe had been like Germany, then we would have had 53,000 deaths. So the ‘price’ is an extra 90,000 deaths. Is that the right price for ‘health & freedom’?
Boris and the Tory’s cocked up on everything other than getting the vaccines early. People died needlessly as a direct consequence. | |||

Germany has 67,000 deaths in a population of 83m, we have 143,000 with 66m. So ifwe had been like Germany, then we would have had 53,000 deaths. So the ‘price’ is an extra 90,000 deaths. Is that the right price for ‘health & freedom’?
Boris and the Tory’s cocked up on everything other than getting the vaccines early. People died needlessly as a direct consequence.

"We should do a Competiton for the best excuse why are rate is so bad Population density (as obviously no where else on the planet has densely populated areas) Every other country has an obedient population Our climate We are the only country to count deaths 'fairly' Other countries are used to emergency type situations Here a few more Deaths are bad but would have been worse under Corbyn The EU Illegal immigrants The homeless and people who are claiming UC The climate one Is my favourite. How unlucky are we though to have this totally unique set of circumstances? You boys are funny
Are you telling me that our PD isn't almost twice the size of Germany? Or that we aren't less obedient as a nation?
Tokyo Is very densely populated , 38 million people , 1250 deaths
We were compared to Germany. Not Japan.
You were comparing population density
With Germany because the poster before said we should ask Germany
Ah, so population density isn’t a factor unless it’s England or Germany?
Of course it's a factor. But bringing other countries into when this is about Germany
I see, so population density is a factor but not relevant in other countries .
How many times. This thread and the reply in question is specifically about Germany. And anyway, Japans PD is lower than Englands
It isn’t though - England 275 per square kilometre, Japan 340 per square kilometre. Facts are important, more so than throw away comments."You are correct. Facts are very very important. That's why you should know that England's PD is actually 432 per sqkm. And England's recorded Covid-19 deaths is 107k. If you're gonna try call me out on facts please make sure you have the correct figures  | |||

Rubbish they didn’t need to lockdown as hard as their outbreak wasn’t as bad and they had far better testing facilities set up from day one so knew where the virus was.
Also they didn’t need to be as strict as the people followed the rules ( they love rules ) and when you have the likes of Cummings setting an example it’s easy to see why we didn’t follow rules.
The Germans had compulsory wearing of masks months before we even thought it might be a good idea.
However the main failing of the U.K. government was the disease was travelling between countries due to flights so stopping planes rapidly slowed down the importing and spread of the virus. That’s fact and looking at New Zealand as island example it could have been so much better here.
We let the world keep coming in for months. We have introduced quarantine 12 months later . Brilliant.
Remember the first flight from China when they locked up the passengers. Why was that not extended for all arrivals ?
My own in law arrived in Heathrow from Madrid at the height of their outbreak and deaths. He didn’t get stopped checked tested or anything. Sailed through.
And yet the Germans' biggest newspaper literally says they envy us.
They are envying our roll out.
Well in a life or death situation, the roll out is kind of the only thing that matters right now, don't you agree? "Personally I'd say having one of the worst death rates in europe would also have to be taken into consideration. Just because the roll out has been a success,doesn't negative the previous 12 months car crash. | |||

"Germany's top-selling newspaper has hailed the UK's COVID vaccine rollout success and its plans to lift lockdown, announcing on its front page: "Dear British, we envy you." My husbands Niece is at school in Germany. She doesn't really care about population density, she just feels that we are doing a much better job at getting the vaccinations done and that information is very toxic on vaccine uptake in Germany right now. My Husbands Niece is just 16. Totally agree we have done the vaccines better. Its just the bit before where Boris policies directly led to 90,000 more deaths than we would have had if we’d done it the German way - 90,000 deaths on Boris hands (as he has no conscience!)How do you actually work that out? im very interested to know and im sure the government would be too. From my other post, I’m sure you’ve read it
Germany has 67,000 deaths in a population of 83m, we have 143,000 with 66m. So ifwe had been like Germany, then we would have had 53,000 deaths. So the ‘price’ is an extra 90,000 deaths. Is that the right price for ‘health & freedom’?
Boris and the Tory’s cocked up on everything other than getting the vaccines early. People died needlessly as a direct consequence.
Just like to point out as certain poster are comparing the UK to Germany plus the fact the UK locked down to late.
1st lockdown UK 23rd March
1st lockdown Germany 22nd March.
One day in it so not much of an argument imo.
If only it was that simple.
Germany - closed borders 16th March
U.K. - partially closed borders beginning of June
Enough said .
Ok lets go further.
Germany lockdown on 22nd March did not tell the public to stay at home.
UK lockdown on 23rd March told the public to stay at home.
So the UK lockdown was far stricter than the Germany lockdown.

You were comparing population density
With Germany because the poster before said we should ask Germany
Ah, so population density isn’t a factor unless it’s England or Germany?
Of course it's a factor. But bringing other countries into when this is about Germany
I see, so population density is a factor but not relevant in other countries .
How many times. This thread and the reply in question is specifically about Germany. And anyway, Japans PD is lower than Englands
It isn’t though - England 275 per square kilometre, Japan 340 per square kilometre. Facts are important, more so than throw away comments.
You are correct. Facts are very very important. That's why you should know that England's PD is actually 432 per sqkm.
And England's recorded Covid-19 deaths is 107k.
If you're gonna try call me out on facts please make sure you have the correct figures "You are right on England, I picked up the UK figure. Should we removed some of the Japanese islands which are less populated as well? In terms of the number of excess deaths, you are under reporting | |||

There is no need to argue about a few thousand here or their in numbers, or to say we have unique circumstances. We just don’t - every suggestion has been debunked. We aren’t overcrowded, we don’t have a unique lack of following rules, we don’t have the ‘wrong’ population mix. What we do have is criminally culpable Leadership. | |||

"As an outsider you cant help but admire Merkel What's this now..her 3rd term? Resolute,competent,she has oversaw the economic powerhouse in europe and the way she stood upto trump was more than impressive. She will rightly go down as one of the modern era great politicians.
Far FAR from it.
Merkel was very well liked in Germany in her early years but these days she is almost universally hated here.
Look closely at the "3 terms" and, for example, it was nothing like Blair.
The current German government is what is known as the "Jamaica coalition" (from the colours of the Jamaican flag)
Merkels CDU/CSU alliance (Black) was the largest party but when you take away the CSU (separate but allied to Merkel) votes in Bavaria (which have been almost a given for years) Merkel herself only got just over a quarter of the total.
Which left Merkel scratching to form a government. Her grand coalition, which she had to form with SPD (Red) when she couldn't win the previous election, had collapsed so she had to do a deal with FDP (yellow, think Lib Dems) and the Greens to form a government.
This was in 2017. Since then Merkel and her CDU party have lost popularity, only CSU in Bavaria has stood still (as it pretty much always has) Most opinion polls have Merkel dropping another 2 or 3% from what was an all time low last time.
Come September (whatever the details of the result) it will be another horse trading exercise to form a government here.
Merkel has only "won" one election. The last two "wins" were cobbled together in the corridors of power.
Even so..more widely in europe ,you dont serve 3 terms in the most powerful country in europe and are seen as a political failure.
Whatever you think of her personally, she will go down in history as a formidable politician in a mans world."Or the one who put the last nail into the CDU coffin. | |||
