Nothing comparable because it's an inconvenient truth to you that Germany made interventions other than a lockdown - mass testing, contact tracing, in line with internationally recognised and established guidance on pandemic flu.
We shrugged our shoulders for a week and said "herd immunity".
The Government message will ultimately be to blame the people at the end of this however, like Hillsborough, that simply won't wash.
