This is a failure of privatisation/outsourcing.
Well said. Any uk Gov at present would have the same problem.
Except a government that simply said “let’s ask Germany to help, they’re managing much better than we are”.
Politicking and hubris are all very well, but not when people are dying because of it.
Its been in my experience that most Germans tend to follow government advice etc.....the same cannot be said of the British. with regard to Covid..doesn't matter who or what you bring in, unless there is also a hard enforcement regime it is sadly doomed to fail.
About the "Germans": Sorry to say that only "most" Germans follow the goverment advice.
We have rent a vacation -with our own kitchen- home last week in eastern Germany.
In each bus we had a look we have seen more than 20% with the mask under the nose or without a mask.. (You have to wear a msk in busses, trains etc.)
In each supermaket: More than 20% wearing the mask under the nose or without a mask. (You have to wear a mask in busses, trains etc.)
And the people moved in the streets etc. as usual. We were eating in a restaurant garden beeing happy to find a table with enough distandce and suddenly a lady tried to lean on our table to have a look in the menu cards...
It seems that some people (with the mask under the nose) were waiting for comments...
A lot of this people were were older than me - I think 65+......
Have a look at german television about the "querdenker demonstations" agains the rules :-(
I personally have to be very careful so......
