Look at the cumulative death rate
@Parents_Utd @SafeEdForAll_UK @dgurdasani1
Since 19th July
UK had over 15,000 deaths,
whereas Germany had 7000 deaths
and Netherlands and Australia had around 1200 deaths each
Have we lost all sense of perspective!

Data source ourworldindata.org/explorers/coro…
UK has also had the highest hospital admissions in almost all peaks including the recent one
And a confirmation in terms of cumulative excess death per capita.
Just because some other countries are doing worse in the recent week or so --- does not make our handling of the pandemic any better
