Shame, Pity and Squares

I recently learned that 100,000 Brits have been killed by Covid19, that is the highest on planet Earth by rate. Only about 4 or 5 other countries have a higher death rate and they have very large populations compared to us. The feeling I get is shame and pity; I feel shame that we failed to stop the virus from doing so much damage, I also feel pity because all those dead people have friends and family that have lost a love one too early. I have ideas that may stop the disease but I am a transparent ordinary man with no status in society. What can I do? I wear a mask and stay at home as much as possible and wait for the disease to go away. 

Earlier in the week I was trying out the mapping and natigation software called 'what 3 words'. It divides the planet up into 3 meter squares and gives them unique 3 word names that were randomly selected for example, the prime minister's porch is called 'slurs.this.shark'. some of the squares names are quite amusing, every home and business premises intersects with several 'what 3 words' squares.
