UK's covid deaths
I have just seen that the UK has now had more than 150,000 covid deaths, and that's the most in Europe, but 7th after the US, Brazil, India, Russia, Mexico and Peru. As all those countries, except Peru, have populations of millions more than the UK, doesn't the percentage make our numbers of deaths even more shocking? I don't know we we stand in Europe in terms of percentage of deaths per population - and I don't know at what point the named countries reached 150,000 deaths, or what the totals for those countries are now. Some journalist somewhere needs to "do the math" as it were. But comparative percentages are more indicative of seriousness of the outcomes, and therefore some analysis of the success or failures of various protections taken or not taken.
