Answer 1

Answer:

With most Covid-19 restrictions now lifted in England, the world is watching to see what its “freedom day” will bring. Some scepticism is warranted, given Britain’s approach throughout the pandemic has hardly been a success. By July 19, there had been 128,985 deaths from Covid-19, and the death rate per 1 million population was just under 1,900. True, there are countries with worse rates, including Hungary, Italy and the Czech Republic in Europe. But countries that have taken a different approach have vastly better figures: for example, 35.8 deaths per million of population in Australia, and 5.39 in New Zealand. No doubt Boris Johnson’s government took its emphatic 2019 election victory and relatively successful vaccination programme as a mandate for opening

But the current situation doesn’t support such optimism. Infection rates are now the worst in Europe and the death rate is climbing. By contrast, Australia has much lower death and infection rates but state authorities have responded with lockdowns.
