Yet France did no better in deaths per captia, than the "shambolic" UK, or Sweden, where life seemed pretty tolerable, nor most of the other EU countries, in fact. (Nor many developing countries that did very little to contain Covid, but I'm sure we will both agree we can't really rely on those figures).
It seems to me there is very little clear link between how a country responded, and the overall death count.
- sofixa 5y agoAs i said elsewhere, comparing countries is complex due to a varietyof differences. The closer they are, the more fair rhe comparison will be. Sweden did much worse compared to its neighbours in a similar situation.
- lithium_throw 5y agoThat's a pretty big cop-out. Yes it is, but France and England are pretty similar.
