England's certainly pulled the short straw. Sensible people in charge of Wales, Scotland, and NI.
Nowhere else is going for a 'herd immunity' mass death and longer term economic damage

I'm beginning to think we're the only country in the world with a large number of people supporting eugenics.
Aside from a small minority of gun toting fanatics in America, it seems other countries haven't suffered an epidemic of common sense failure. Few people elsewhere think an infectious virus will go away if we pretend it has.
The amount of Othering on MN the past few weeks is an eye-opener. It's sadly not a minority view it seems. The same people are clamouring for an immediate return to routine hospital treatments. They don't seem to understand that won't be possible given the infection rate is still very high in hospitals.
I would suggest the 1922 committee and their like lead by example by travelling to and from the houses of parliament on packed London underground, buses, and trains. But I suspect they, unlike Joe public, have access to the drugs that've shown so much promise. I'm also confident, drugs or not, they'd get fast treatment regardless of the inevitable overwhelmed hospitals in the second wave.
I feel physically sick the more I think about the criminal negligence re care homes.
