These analysis are based on data provided by the countries. While they all may provide mortality as a number at some point, some may not already do so in the interval needed to draw accurate comparisons over the last two months. For example: I find the difference between England/Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland to be strange. I'd expect these to be closer together.
- wiredfool 6y agoThere are different governments and health services in Northern Ireland and Ireland, and they've taken different paths in their actions and messaging.
- derriz 6y agoWhy would you expect them to be closer? The respective government responses were very different - the UK initially decided to to pursue a "herd immunity" strategy - i.e. do nothing to stop the spread of the virus. In contrast, the Irish government locked down early and hard - the UK lock down occurred later (once the significance of the threat became more obvious) and even then introduced lock-down measures more gradually.

There also appears to be a pretty huge immigrant/racial skew in ICU and death cases for unclear reasons, conjectured to be vitamin D related. This is likely also skewing Sweden vs their neighbours, given Sweden's enormous migrant intake.
