Britain performed worse than most other developed nations in its response to the Covid pandemic, according to an Observer analysis of international data, five years on from the first lockdown.
The UK spent more money than most other countries on economic help yet still ended up with larger drops in life expectancy, more people too sick to work, huge levels of homelessness and soaring mental health problems among young people.
Thousands will gather around the UK on Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of the pandemic, yet the effects of Covid are not over and continue to affect the poorest more than others, health and civil society leaders warned.

200k killed in the UK with COVID listed as the cause. It's a poignant day.
And if COVID had never happened, how many of those 200k would still be alive today?

English Bob almost died of covid after talking about the Queen again on the 4th of July.
“I warned you about that Bob.” Little Bill
That’s because they are too stupid to think for themselves.
Maybe if they didn’t push the jab,1/2 those would still be alive and the mental health problem wouldn’t be as bad. Lock downs and the jab were the worst decisions ever
Their NHS were deadly with their use of Midazolam, for example, killing off anyone they could claim had Covid. Hugely important that we don’t perpetuate their lies, but broadcast the truth.
Socialism only works in economics textbooks.

With six cancers in five family members since CoupFlu, I think the House of Windsor has a daily reminder.
And they vaxxed their kids...
“200k killed in the UK with COVID listed as the cause.”
Just like here, motorcycle accidents, gunshots, suicide, morbid obesity, heart attacks, etc. just to get a bigger payout from the feds. Never thought I could despise the GOPe more but I was totally wrong.
socialized medicine didn’t help.

Zackly - but, that’s socialized “medicine” for you - that many have died in Canada alone over the last few years - while waiting on medical appointments...and Covid hasn’t been the culprit...
Just curious .... I know Charles, Kate & Fergie (diagnosed with 2 cancers)... who are the other 2?
Not a single one, possibly. Look at seasonal influenza deaths. Had the CCP/DNC not needed mailin ballots it might have been a normal flu season and we would not have noticed.
I believe the Queen had cancer too. Not sure that it was her cause of death at the time.
You paint with a wide brush, Sir!
Ten bucks says the countries with the best outcomes are those who did the least.
Once you mentioned it, I thought I recalled some sort of bone cancer - here’s a link:
The Queen, who died in September after more than 70 years on the throne, worked through the agony of bone marrow cancer — the most common symptom of which is bone pain, according to “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait,” an upcoming biography written by author and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth.
In the months leading up to her death at the age of 96, there was widespread speculation that the Queen was dealing with an illness. Her death certificate officially listed her cause of death as “old age.”
“I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life,” Brandreth wrote in the book, which is being serialized by The Daily Mail.
“The most common symptom of myeloma is bone pain, especially in the pelvis and lower back, and multiple myeloma is a disease that often affects the elderly,” the former MP wrote.
“Currently, there is no known cure, but treatment — including medicines to help regulate the immune system and drugs that help prevent the weakening of the bones — can reduce the severity of its symptoms and extend the patient’s survival by months or two to three years.”
Take it the way I said it. The majority of my DNA is from the British Isles, so I can say about them what I please...and I'm not a Sir.
