CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

We're talking all the major European nations - not Montenegro and Sardinia!

And there are dozens of eminent scientists/doctors expressing concerns.....

Playing a consensus card - is facile.

Whilst it's possible that these countries have smarter and more cautious politicians / scientists, it's also possible they are acting out of wariness / self preservation of being "the careless one" if they don't follow the leader. There's also the reality that those countries are in close proximity to one another, and share a number of things in common.  They are also part of a union, which in my view is also a factor. For now, Western European and Scandinavian countries make up the most of the suspensions. The data changes faster than one can type, but so far as I can tell, some of the countries that have suspended AZ have not actually experienced any issues within their own borders. The fact that the suspensions have thus far occurred in a localised geographical area should at least give one pause for thought.
