So why has the UK had more deaths?
Sweden pursued a herd immunity strategy. Germany had a similar public health response to the UK. Both have done much better than the UK.

The first FATAL flaw of the UK response was the “stay home” approach.
Instead of triaging (assessing) covid cases, the UK opted to make NO routine clinical contact with ANY covid cases. UK national policy relies on the patient to come forward if severely unwell.
NO TRIAGE
