The UK's app failure sums up our fatally flawed coronavirus response
Thanks to dithering and ineptitude, we may never have contact tracing on our smartphones * Coronavirus – latest updates * See all our coronavirus coverage I’ve just been looking at the coronavirus death toll in various countries as tallied on the Johns Hopkins University Covid-19 tracker. At the time I checked, the UK had 45,407 deaths, Poland had 1,642, Ireland had 1,753, New Zealand had 1,555 and Greece had – wait for it – 197. “Ah, yes,” you say, “but of course the UK has a much bigger population than most of those countries – 67.9 million compared to (respectively) 37.8 million, 4.9 million, 4.8 million and 10.4 million.” So, as a simple mathematical exercise over breakfast, why not work out the number of deaths per 100,000 for each country? And then try not to choke on your muesli, for these numbers tell an unambiguous story. It is that by the standards of a number of other comparable democratic states, the UK government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis has been an unmitigated fiasco, second only, among developed countries, to the unfolding catastrophe in the United States.

MOST EU COUNTRIES The Schengen area, a border control-free travel area that encompasses 26 European countries, blocked nonessential travel from the US to its member countries, and four other European countries decided to follow the same rules. The bloc reopened its borders to some countries from July, but left the US out. European diplomats said they barely considered including the US because its cases were so high. The countries where US tourists are blocked, are: * Austria * Belgium * Czech Republic * Denmark * Estonia * Finland * France * Germany * Greece * Hungary * Iceland * Italy * Latvia * Liechtenstein * Lithuania * Luxembourg * Malta * Netherlands * Norway * Poland * Portugal * Slovakia * Slovenia * Spain * Sweden * Switzerland THE BAHAMAS The Caribbean island nation closed the borders to US visitors on July 19, but left them open for those coming from Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. It had reopened its borders three weeks earlier. "Our current situation demands decisive action if we are to avoid being overrun and being defeated by this virus," Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said. CHINA China blocked the entry of travelers from almost every country in March, aiming to stop a second wave of the virus after it got its own outbreak under control.
