THREAD: How did the UK fare during the pandemic compared to other advanced ISLAND nations?
Answer: very, very badly. Overall, but also during the second wave that started roughly on 1 October 2020.
It's not about total population, or population density. It's pure incompetence.

Linger over the table in the previous tweet. Really soak it in!

The UK suffered almost as many deaths during the second wave alone (39,758) as all the other nations in this comparison did in total since the pandemic began (41,724).
UK population: 66,796,807
Combined population of all other countries in table: 583,620,484

NOTES
1. Scotland has come out looking "relatively" better than the other 4 nations, but that's still nothing to shout about when you look at the overall figures.
2. All the sources are listed at the bottom of the table, if you want to check anything out for yourself.
