Gonna get pulled into some Politcal finger pointing now but if you have looked at the statistics for the West the curves are pretty similar give or take a few (many) thousand.
You think if Corbyn was in power we would be in a better situation?
Bewshit.

I got this from my mum on the phone. I wonder if this going to become a pattern for the immediate future as well, questioning what Corbyn would do differently?
Every time the Tories (not accusing you of being a Tory btw) are asked something, we get "Well, Mr Corbyn would have..." instead of "Well, Mr Corbyn will..."
Unless you're a policial / history undergrad doing their thesis in about ten years time, it's got about as much relevance as asking what a cricket bat would do if it was in power now instead.

I'll ignore the Corbyn question as it is ridiculous.
I would settle for competent decision making based on science and direct experience of what has worked successfully for other countries.

Our curve looks nothing like Germany or Ireland, let alone South Korea. This is down to the decisions made by the government in the early part of the crisis.

Well, I don't think it's a ridiculous question, but you kind of need to break it down into two parts. I think we'd undoubtedly be in a better situation just generally, but on the specific question of coronavirus, we obviously don't know if Corbyn would be a better crisis manager. What I am certain of is that he would have taken it very, very seriously right from the beginning, and that action and planning would have started in earnest much earlier.
It has been observed quite a lot that some of what is needed at the moment is 'socialist' in nature, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that Corbyn wouldn't have shied away from such measures in the way the Tories have been doing.

This is exactly the 'Rally round the flag' shit that is seeing Trump at his highest ever approval rating, regardless of his completely incompetent and farcical performance during this crisis.
Exactly the same could be said of Boris and his government during this crisis. Not a single correct decision taken at the right time and communicated well to the public. Yet, we should 'support the PM'. Bollocks.
