UK: “As many as 80% of the population are expected to be infected with Covid-19 in the next 12 months, and up to 15% (7.9 million people) may require hospitalization” a secret Public Health England (PHE) briefing for senior NHS officials, seen by the Guardian, reveals [source]

- “A year is entirely plausible. But that figure isn’t well appreciated or understood [...] I think it will dip in the summer, towards the end of June, and come back in November, in the way that usual seasonal flu does. I think it will be around forever, but become less severe over time, as immunity builds up,” commented Paul Hunter, an expert in epidemiology [source]

So their plan is to not even try to contain it in the first place. Nice going guys, thanks for fucking it up for everyone who got it contained.

So don't visit us and ban/quarantine all UK visitors to your country.

I don't think blaming other countries for their approach is a great idea right now especially when you're complaining about a country that has contained this better than many other European countries.
