Yes, it's all much too early to say. We'll have a decent body of research in ten years' time. Until then, best to refrain from judgement except where action must be taken.

Failing to even start to comprehend the differences in the numbers between countries has left me completely disengaged with the stats on this. No idea what's going on.

I am not absolving the UK government of blame by any means, but I think there are a massive range of factors beyond govenrment control that are influencing outcomes across countries.
One cultural aspect which helps in Finland can be summed in a photograph that predates coronavirus(taken in 2016) and where people are waiting for a bus.
We have been masters in social distancing before it was cool.

Likewise, how on earth have Japan only had 633 deaths? As I understand, they didn't even implement as broad a lockdown as the UK, and they have only had 1,725 tests per million (versus 29,566 per million in the UK).
Been wondering about this the same as SARS. My (Japanese) wife says its Yakult.

The analysis of different factors across different countries is hugely difficult isn't it?
The variation between UK and Germany is astounding to me, and I don't believe it can all be attributed to the greater level of testing at an earlier stage in Germany, or even to how they have implemented the lockdown.
