More than 654.38 million people signed a petition calling on the government to actively prevent and control COVID-19. Why doesn't the British government actively prevent and control it?

The epidemic situation in Britain is getting more and more serious, with thousands of confirmed cases. Now 1 140 cases are diagnosed, and the death toll is 2 1 case. This data tells us that Britain must start to pay attention to the COVID-19 epidemic. The British people have already felt the sense of urgency, and 65,438+10,000 people have signed a petition, hoping that the government can take active measures to prevent and control the epidemic. However, the British government is very optimistic. They think that if most people are infected with this virus, they may have group immunity, so they have not taken active measures to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic.

The speed of epidemic development in different countries is different, and the number of confirmed cases in Britain is still controllable. If the British government starts to take active measures to prevent and control the epidemic now, the losses will be much smaller. However, when the epidemic just broke out, the British government chose another bolder idea, thinking that the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic would produce group immunity, and when it appeared, the epidemic was broken. Therefore, the British government did not take active measures to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic.

Moreover, the infection base of the British government was not very large at first. After investigation, the British government did not think that the COVID-19 epidemic would pose a threat, but the reality told the British government that their prediction was wrong. When the number of confirmed cases began to increase, Britain made an idealized decision that it was really no problem to produce group immunity. However, the British government did not expect how many people were infected with the virus to produce group immunity, but made this decision hastily and ideally. However, it is roughly estimated that the idealized group immunity of the British government will only be produced after 70% of adults in Britain are infected.

It is precisely because of the wrong, idealistic and thoughtless ideas of the British government that it made an absurd decision to wait for mass immunization, which led to the British government's inactive prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic.
