Can’t compare Italy, as they had two weeks less notice than us, and in that time their cases doubled, doubled, and doubled again, that 2 weeks cost them a lot of deaths and infections, same as Spain. So basically, they have a pretty big excuse. I think Italy and Spain are well past their second wave peak now too, we’re not, we’re not even at the peak yet, so we likely have another 40k deaths to come as the curve goes down.UK deaths per million of population 1,173
Italy 1,290
Belgium1,716
Czechia 1,194
Slovenia 1,417
Bosnia 1,310
North Macedonia 1,239
San Marino 1,884
Liechtenstein 1,257
Out of those countries only Italy and perhaps Belgium are comparable to the UK
THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS LOWER NUMBERS.
I am going to post this again as an OP
Never mind Trump getting the sack this bunch of tossers need to go asap
Belgium report differently too, but I can’t recall how, I think it skews their numbers. They’re also a bit of a European thoroughfare, quite small and quite dense too, so they have it tough, to say the least.
When this is all over and the dust settles we will be seen as the biggest disaster in Europe, maybe even the world, everything we’ve done has been too slow and too soft, for the type of people and country we have. Sweden will be seen as a disaster too, they had the people to control this properly (like Noway, Finland etc), but they stuck two fingers up to the experts and its biting them again, and nowhere near over for them either.
