> 65 yo population in Italy is 22.8 vs UK 18.4. Most people dying are the old ones so you'll see more death in countries with older population, in general. Moreover the way we count covid victims in Italy is to count every death even when the covid was a minor co-factor. For instance an 80 yo with several chronic disease and cancer dies and is positive to covid as well? It is counted as covid death here, inflating the stats.
About the other statements, if you think UK did a good job with covid, well, I'm happy you trust your government actions. Live long and prosper btw.
