Lol. Better place = loads are already dead because we gave zero fucks, so we are now immune.
I'm fairly sure the UK has fewer excess deaths than a number of other European countries, including Italy and Spain. (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-excess-deaths-per-million-covid?tab=chart&country=FRA~GBR~ITA~ESP~NLD~BEL~DEU~BGR~AUT~CZE~POL)
Everything I've read from actual experts reports that, hopefully, the UK will be in a relatively "better place" because the virus (and specifically delta) has been circulating amongst a population with fairly high vaccine numbers for a longer time resulting in higher levels of immunity in the population with fewer hospitalisations and deaths. This is what everyone wants to happen, right? Even NZ has given up on elimination.
This isn't to say that that the Tories should be taken as an example of how to manage a pandemic. Far, far, from it.

I heard a piece on the radio saying that the UK was in a better place than most of Europe as it is the Delta variant that is really growing in Europe whereas in the UK the Delta variant had already taken over a while ago.
