Think that's a bit of a generalised and assumptive view of Brazil to be fair. The healthcare is not on a par to the UK but to say that the government is twisting numbers, they don't have means to carry out tests, and that is why really the UK has better numbers does not add up for me. But let's even say it's true and they don't have covid tests to check if a person has it before they die, the USA who is ran by a complete lunatic and idiots running around everywhere is still fairing better that us Brits. Find it hard to see why and how we have got it so wrong.
Sorry mate but I was understanding that temperatures do not make a difference to the spread?
I wasnt talking about Brazil specifically to be honest, nor am I trying to paint the UK governments handling in any kind of positive way, more then anything I am using my knowledge and experiences of India (where my parents are from) to draw some generalisations. India has 150k dead officially, so that’s twice what we have but with about 20 times the population. They had one lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic, lasted 6-8 weeks, no subsequent lockdowns, mask wearing and social distancing is sporadic at best (my nephew got married a couple of weeks ago, 500 guests and about 5 of them in a mask), and at the beginning of the pandemic my home state had something like 50 ventilators for a population of 30 million people and that’s one of the smaller wealthier states, there’s also been a few media investigations that have found medical staff under pressure not to put Covid on the death certificates. Now going by all of that, despite all the cock ups by our government, somethings not right there. Either the Indian approach has just proven what all the nut jobs over here have been saying and the whole thing is just a hoax, or something is going on with the numbers or something else equally strange.
