Sifta-
That comparing is very hard, sure I agree.
I am critical of the UK government as they sat on their hands while things while the virus was raging in Spain/Italy & did nothing about it spreading in care homes.
But to calculate in an exact figure which measures have helped exactly is impossible atm. Not sure it even IS possible. Maybe in a few years there will be a "lessons learned".
JWestland
Netherlands
Population = 17M
Population Density = 421/km2
Deaths = 6K
But would if England was like the Netherlands the death rate would be 18K, not 27K
You can pick what you like in that sense. Even comparing within the UK is going to be hard enough.
