COVID-19 Pandemic - Italy's Quarantine vs British Let it Happen

Guys… using Italy as a model for how to handle the Coronavirus isn't exactly, you know, good. Considering how immensely they've fucked it up. Like for real.

Irish Potato Blight 1845
British response: "Let's let a bunch of people die, that should fix things."

Bengal Famine 1943
British response: "Let's let a bunch of people die, that should fix things."

Coronavirus Pandemic 2020
British response: "Let's let a bunch of people die, that should fix things."

Can't deny, they're consistent.
