Things we could never have predicted last year: that in 2020 basket case economies where diarrhoea is a way of life would provide a better example of governance than many Western nations.
Consider the latest news from Pakistan.
Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered the government to lift what is left of the country’s lockdown. The court has ordered shopping malls to reopen and questioned why a virus which ‘apparently is not a pandemic in Pakistan’ should be ‘swallowing so much money.’
You are aware that the Pakistan has a median age of 22.8, the UK 40.3.
More so, if you demographic weight C19 age banded IFRs the UK’s is 0.68%, but Pakistan’s just 0.12%.
The UK will see 5.7x the deaths of Pakistan, it has 5% 80+, they have <1%, never mind being far less obese, etc.
I can see why they have decided it far less of a threat.
Don’t see how you can apply a one size fits all argument to both countries.
