I'm not sure how you've come to this conclusion. I've noted that there are indeed a number of different methods that can and have worked. My point is that control is possible, and can be achieved through a number of ways. The proof is in the pudding for the UK's choices though.

I'd agree the government has made poor decisions but I'm not sure the Aussies are more intelligent than us ffs. More compliant possibly but depending on the context of the situation that can also be a very bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you list the top 10 most intelligent countries in the world please, and where you would fit into the list. Bottom ten would be good to know too.

A population? I bet there's less than 5,000 people there from a country that has a population of over 80 million and a city of over 3.5 million. You could find 5,000 people in Germany who love stand up comedy but it's hardly representative. If that represents the German population, then Mick Coop represents Derby full backs.

I didn't mean too much of it but if you think of clever Australia or the USA certainly doesn't come to mind put it that way. IQ is not a great concept and stupid or smart is always subjective anyway even though they are some clear idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Intelligence', and 'complying with the norms we apply to our definition of intelligence', are not necessarily the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is more there is virtually no 'Covid fatigue' in the majority of the country, because we've not had to spend long in lockdown due to the fact that we listened to the advice early, and succeeded in that approach. The one area which has had, and finished, a major second wave was Victoria, and and they overwhelming supported the action due to what they saw elsewhere in the country. The fact it worked amplified this support. This in turn is helping motivate people here in South Australia. The issue in Europe is that stories of success are a World away because elimination just wasn't considered or tried. It's a fight against a titan now; I'm not surprised many aren't up for it. As to the 'global IQ' idea, it's a very flawed premise, but not really the topic of conversation here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 A sobering thought. The daily average coronavirus death rate is higher than that of UK soldiers and civilians combined killed by the Axis forces in WW2. Careless talk costs lives.
