U.K. First Country in Europe With 100,000 Covid Deaths

Jan.27 -- The U.K. has become the first European nation to reach the devastating milestone of 100,000 deaths from Covid-19. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, speaking Tuesday, said "it’s hard to compute the sorrow contained in that grim statistic," but offered few answers to the question of what went so wrong over the past year. Bloomberg's David Merritt reports.

US has almost 4 times the UK population, its sad hearing "well its still not as bad as the US, smh."

400, 000 out of 326 million.
100, 000 out of 66 million.

Those numbers are nothing to be happy about regardless were you live.

I find it interesting that everyone feels better when they can blame someone. If you really feel the need to blame a politician, then maybe xi jinping. . .

Whether we like it or not containing this virus has cost this country everything: mental health, physical health, careers, incomes, in addition to many deaths caused by isolation and neglect. The priority to crush this virus using the current lockdown measures to stop us from doing anything has led to a huge human cost which is nothing short of tragic! And least least 100, 000 (possibly more) still died of covid-19 with many more to come! So was this lockdown strategy successful? I do not think so.

They forget that they classify it a covid death even if you were killed by a bus. This is because the person may have had covid 28 days earlier.
