U.K., population 68 million, COVID deaths 123,000 (1 in 553)

Our COVID death rate is more than twice Germany’s...
Misleading figures of course. What is the comparative death rate for the number of hospitalisations?
Plenty of countries will have lower death rates, but they will tend to be ones that had a LOWER number of infections and hospitalisations in the first place.
