South Korea appear to be doing a pretty good job of it from where I sit. 51 million people jammed into an area smaller than the smallest state of Australia. Double the population, only double the number of cases. Roughly 50 people tested for each confirmed case.
Logic says that they should be up amongst the worst affected if population density is a major predictor (4th most densely populated country).
Bangladesh, India and Lebanon being the most dense.

They have indeed. Test test and test again followed by isolation as required

Can't help but notice one of the greatest inventions and constructions of all time sitting on the dockside there.

North Korea has done a better job. 0 Covid cases

I think you will find they have a pretty effective eradication program. Involves an anti aircraft gun at close range from what I can remember !

Then

A. It isn't a competition
B. UK hasn't got it all right
C. I am ridiculing Trump, not the whole US

Good on your old father-in-law and hope he gets through it.

An old boy in the UK has caused quite a stir in the last few days raising £14m for NHS charity. This is what a true community is all about.

'This isn't the Boston tea party, it's a pandemic' Big true.

A. Maybe it is, you guys will run out of people first
B. UK has it mostly wrong as compared to the rest of Europe
C. I'm not ridiculing every Brit, just you.

Maybe it will be, people with Republican governors are living in free America, people with dem govs are in occupied territory. Just goes to show our total loss of freedoms if the dems regain power.

You're a Brit? Guess what, we don't care what you think about our president - positive or negative. And we don't care about your political leaders either.

I equally don't care whether you care what I think! Ignore me if I offend you !

Global pandemics really do mean you should care a bit. The US is not, and cannot be run in isolation.

A. Do you understand how percentages work ?

B. Have you seen what is happening in Europe and how varied the approaches are ? As I said, to say UK is 'wrong' before the end of the pandemic is just plain silly. UK has made mistakes, but unlike in Trumpsville they are capable of taking the blame and explaining rather than just shouting 'fake news' when challenged.

C. Ridicule away, but check in the mirror from time to time before you do

I wish I lived in your simplistic world of freedom or not, Rebublicans v Democrats. The world is not black and white, it is various shades of grey and you are going to spend the rest of your life frustrated and ranting on two bit forums about freedom if you don't take a more considered view. Compromise, conciliation, negotiation and understanding are not forms of weakness, they are the strengths required for progress.

You don't offend me - it's just amusing how citizens and journalists in other countries have this silly notion that their opinion of us means anything. News flash - it doesn't!

Re: pandemic, countries will deal with it as they see fit for their citizens. I've been following this from the beginning and most are doing reasonably well - even Sweden with their laissez-faire approach hasn't blown up as many predicted.

Bottom line: there is only one scapegoat here. There is only one country where this originated and only one country that could have stopped this from becoming a global pandemic - China.

Do you really think you could, having been tied to the yoke of government oppression for so long, are you sure you could still hunt?

Arguing on 2 bit forums is entertainment for me, I don't watch the "tellie" anymore.

Compromise, conciliation, negotiation and understanding are not forms of weakness,

Or are they?

You just don't get how insulting you are do you? Please show some respect to us or expect to be told what an ass you are. I suspect that all this hate towards Donald Trump is just jeolosy, he has accomplished an awful lot in his life. To win the presidency of the US isn't an easy task especially when the press is securely in the camp of the opposition. Just like your mum telling you that you could grow up to be PM if you eat your veggies and do your schoolwork, he actually did it. He could have been a druggie like Hunter Biden living off his dad's coat tails but he made something of himself. He def has his flaws but just the fact that he is where he is at shows something. Just the fact that you know his name and tune in daily for useful news from the US shows that you are impressed.
