I'd like to know who else disagrees with me. My good friend jfman, for example and, of course my postcode compatriot - OB.
I think nomadking may have missed the bit where you agreed with him about the testing.

It is certainly true that people are making wild comparisons between countries. As the government has indicated, I think the time for a measured response to this is when the pandemic is under control and we can work out exactly what has happened, country by country. This will include the methodology of calculating the number of deaths, which varies around the world.
