I too have signed. Pretty pointless debating the whys and why nots on here though, we all have different views on COVID etc!

Just wanted to make one point. It is hardly surprising that Germany have been so successful thus far at suppressing the virus. My view on this specific point is that having been to Germany many times, it is evident in every day life how they as a population comply with rules. Take pedestrian crossings. You can be standing waiting for 2 minutes to be allowed to cross the road, even though there is absolutely zero traffic coming from miles either side. Then as soon as the green man shows, they all cross, very methodically, no rushing, pushing etc. Its quite surreal. It amuses me every time I go there!

We Brits do what we want, when we want. As such its no surprise that our fight with COVID is far less successful than it is when say comparing us to Germany.

The latin countries all hug each other, which is why Italy, and Spain have struggled. France is not dissmilar.

Yanks take no notice of anyone.

China/South Asians just do as they are told, or they are shot.

Scandinavians are usually fairly cold, unemotional people so social distancing is second nature to them anyway.

Indians/Brazilians/Mexicans  - all emotionally driven, very family orientated etc.

It never seizes to amaze me how we compare ourselves to other countries fighting the pandemic. A few minutes thought, and its obvious that each countries unique DNA either helps or hinders their efforts!

 

Excellent post...generalization it maybe in respect of the countries listed but you've pretty much summed up the attitudes and levels of compliance....and you are right in that we can't compare ourselves to any other country....then skew the argument dependent on which way we are leaning on a given day.
