Germany, we've done very poorly. They got their act together with testing and tracing, we didn't and are unfortunately paying the price. Hopefully lessons will be learned about our lack of investment in public services and obsession with tax cuts, but it's going to be an expensive lesson in several ways.

It's not just about that, Mr K, it is about population densities. Clearly, if certain countries like the UK have a lot of people living or travelling close together (eg those tube trains in London), you will have more people acquiring the virus.
It's not as simple and as clear cut as some may believe. Additionally, the tests have to be accurate or they will not produce the desired results in containing this thing.
