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.

Of course, you get everything right first time, don't you, Mr K. It's easy to be wise after the event and to sit back and criticise while others actually do the work. It is refreshing to note that Labour has been supportive of the government on their handling of this to date and have offered to join with them in tackling this, which the Johnson government has gladly accepted.
As far as Germany and South Korea are concerned, yes, they got off to a flying start. Only when this is over will we know how relevant that was. Remember, there are still a lot of people out there who have not yet been infected, and so the whole thing might yet start again out there.

The government have said they have made mistakes that have cost lives. So, you have to accept that people are going to criticise. Especially when their are glaringly obvious errors that have been made.
Look at the 'success' Greece & New Zealand have had in managing their instances of the pandemic.
Greece has just 146 deaths, New Zealand 20
Before you say, but ah they're spread out and different country etc. etc. yes, it does to a degree play a part. However the single biggest thing that they did was to lockdown fast and they did it hard.
The government has had the same evidence as other western countries, the issue is they made bad decisions at the outset.

Re: Coronavirus
Seeing as we're well into the 'numbers game' . . .
Can someone post up a list of countries with figures of total infected and subsequent survival figures?
. . . or is it just a race to the top with deaths?

The UK does not seem to provide recovery numbers.
They are not on the government site : https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/
