Things changing quickly, only weeks ago Italians were suffering.
Excellent, no mention of the UK on that list, as a country suffering the SECOND worse mortality rate in the WORLD I don’t think we are ready to open our borders to tourism yet.

Only problem with tourist ' hot spots ' in Europe ( e.g Italy and Spain ) is that very few people are going to go there in 2020, apart from their own nationals. All industry experts are saying that this sector will be severely depressed for 2-3 years. I understand the desperation of these countries to stimulate important parts of their economy but they will not ' save the summer ' That is a write-off. There is simply too much caution around to see people flocking out to resorts.
I have spoken to many friends and acquaintances in the UK and every single one has said that they will not be going abroad until 2021.

I think the only country (technically) in the EU who didnt was the country demanding the ability to control their borders, resulting in what you have said ie the 2nd highest mortality rate in the world. Government was negligent

I am holding fire on the final scores on 'mortality' figures on this virus from all nations. Those figures won't be around for many, many months.

Same here, seeing as there were news clips of France transporting patients to other regions by train, Spain with people queued up on floors in a hospital waiting to be treated due to lack of beds and Italy the army transporting mass bodies to be buried I think there are a lot more deaths in these three countries unreported so far.

Well, it may turn out we're not bottom (assuming you view this as some sort of morbid competition), either way it's not going to be too crash hot.

I can see many people wanting to go abroad for their usual two weeks away. They won’t even stay in in the UK, visiting each other for BBQs, and sitting on benches having beers together.
Even when Spain went into lockdown, Brits were wandering along the promenades, videoed swimming in the hotel pool (video clip on NSC of a British woman councillor getting arrested) and whinging because the bars were closed.
Your friends & acquaintances may be sensible, but there are many who aren’t.

I do not, in any way, see it as a 'competition'.
My reference was more to those who quote daily on how bad our stats are, yet they might not necessarily a true reflection on the awful numbers involved worldwide.

Point remains though, they are either going to be quite bad or very bad. No chance of the figures turning out to be "comfortably mid table"

Amazing Dave how lucky you are to live in an amazing country, I bet the waiting list for residency is off the charts?
Out of interest what’s the CR’s contribution to Europe’s refugee crisis?

Oh well Dave’s silence is strangely deafening !
Here’s what the Czech Republic’s PM said on the mater!
The Czech Prime Minister, Andrej Babis, says his country will not accept one single refugee, and neither should the rest of the European Union.
Prime Minister Andrej Babis told the daily newspaper "Pravo" that no exceptions would be made to his migration policy even in cases of hardship, such as orphans from the conflict in Syria.
"Why should we take them in? We have orphans here that we need to help in order for them to have a better life," the billionaire Prime Minister said.

This is NSC there doesn’t need to be any relevance.
As far as you spouting off what a Great Country CZ is every ten minutes and critiquing the UK government on an overseas football forum why don’t you take some of your rhetoric and aim it at your Billionaire PM.
Edit just seen you added D.
Well as long as they’re are not refugees I guess they’ll get in no problem.

CZ has a very low corona death rate due to diligence
UK has a very high death rate due to negligence
Sorry if facts irritate you.
I dont agree with the govt here's stance on refugees from a devastated middle east however they werent responsible for devastating it.
Dave me old mate at no point have I said I disagree with you on the UK’s negligence.
The CZ have been nasty in their approach to the refugee crisis and to be frank couldn’t give a shit about EU laws and bloc expectations, they are not a team player it seems.
