Interesting view on the data https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

If you look at cases/deaths etc sorted by first reported case the UK and Italy and Spain have very close first infection rates but very different results (so far). But figures are still misleading.
Deaths/million OK the figure for the UK is 21 - can we extrapolate that to 1400 odd base on our population or do we accelerate to San Marino's 737 figure getting around 52,000?

You can have great fun with figures can't you? With skill you can get them to say what you like and convince people you need the powers to deal with it or show that things would have been better if you were in charge.
