Different funding model in the UK but you can see how that would drive things in the US.
My guess what happened in the UK was due to Civil service culture of not admitting to mistakes and covering-up mistakes. Possibly someone accidentally included a small number of non-Covid deaths and rather than admit to it, simply carried on in the hope that no-one would notice.

the mens thread
I'm at a loss as to why I haven't been invited to this thread.
It’s the men’s thread

@Victor-Meldrew @MiketheSnow Probably belongs in the mens thread but you two have made this sort of thing mainstream news.
I posted that three months ago!

Was thinking of trekking this weekend to Pembrokeshire. But potential hotel tells me that Welsh restaurants unable to serve customers indoors. So al fresco, weather permitting, or room service.
Welsh Tourists Forbidden?!
A couple of weeks behind England.

I don't have one ounce of sympathy of any Brits caught up in the Spain debacle.
It was always the risk of travel and it had to be taken into consideration before going. Anybody having a whinge now about it, is frankly, stupid.
Badly played all round. People should know how flawed the government travel policy was in the first place

Don’t agree with this. The government can’t legislate for everything. At some point either common sense comes into play or natural selection.

You’d fit in well here. Nobody has any problems of their own doing. All the governments fault.

Don't misunderstand me. I dont disagree that people have to take personal responsibility for their actions. Considering what is going on in the world I would not have booked anything personally

Would you believe I turned on TV in Wales last night and BBC1 boring, next channel You Only Live Twice (wife allowed 5 minutes), then BBC Welsh channel showing Blues Chiefs in Welsh?! Also 5 minutes.
What are the chances?!!
