Many countries are going through new winter waves of the virus, but Britain’s is among the worst, and it comes after a horrendous 2020. Almost 3 million people in the U.K. have tested positive for the coronavirus and nearly 80,000 have died — 30,000 of those in the last month. The economy has shrunk by 8%, more than 800,000 jobs have been lost and hundreds of thousands more are in suspended animation. It is one of the worst outcomes in the world, and much of the blame has been laid at Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s door. DEATH TOLL: The number of COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. stands at 365,625.
