The British Prime Minister does not wish to panic and calls on his fellow citizens to do the same. Two days later, we learn that the coronavirus has made its first victim on British soil. The number of cases is increasing daily, but Boris Johnson is staying the course. He refuses to confine the population and intends to bet on "group immunity", before turning around, and to be hospitalized himself after being declared positive for Covid-19.

Today, Source Code goes back in time with Marion L'Hour, correspondent for the Parisian in London, to understand how the British authorities have managed the coronavirus crisis in the United Kingdom.
