One reason (not the only one ofcourse) is that Covid-19 related deaths for France, Italy, Spain, Germany and China are/were grocely under reported. There were many reports, interviews and eyewitness statements for Italy and China whereby bodies were being moved by the army at night time to be creamated with nothing officially put on the death certificates. Not all countries report the stats in the same way. Everyone and their dog knows China is lying about how many died there. One CNN reporter was arrested and his equipment seized for showing rural village areas of dead people while driving through various parts of China.sionascaig wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 9:23 pmThe UK death rate is one of the worst in world.

I wonder how many Remainers will finally admit they backed the wrong horse.
Also, another reason, people in Asian countries tend to-do what their Governments tell them. In the UK where i live many times i have seen young, middle aged and old people walking around in supermarkets with no masks, stopping for a chat with each other and god knows what. I dont believe for one minute that most people are following the rules. Compare the number of fines handed out in the UK compared with say South Korea.
Ofcourse this government made mistakes and the NHS was not prepared for a pandemic. Playing catch-up during a pandemic is a recipe for a disaster and will be for sometime to come.
