I'm based in the UK and I agree - it is literally doom and gloom here with everyone I have spoken to across friends, colleagues and clients accepting a second lockdown is imminent and travel is now done for 2020.
The government here in my opinion has handled this really, really poorly. For anyone here based in the UK, or has family in the UK - they will tell you we have had politicians and top medical experts continuously claim how "great" the UK is handling this and how they're following the "science" - complete BS.
The deputy CMO here, Jenny Harries, in April had the unmitigated gall to say the UK had been an international exemplar in preparedness for Covid-19. Most people here wondered if it was ignorance or arrogance, it was a totally laughable and patronising comment.
We locked up here way to late in March, and surprise, surprise, we are late to the party again.
I continue to scratch my head and wonder why western and European countries don't look at Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and try and learn. It is this arrogance that has got us here. We should be able to say "hey, we didn't do this right, let us look at those countries who did it well and emulate that". And I'm certain those countries would be more than happy to help.
