> It's an impossible comparison to make.
And yet Nature published Comparing the responses of the UK, Sweden and Denmark to COVID-19 using counterfactual modelling in August[1]. It's not as if that's the only paper making comparisons, even if we only look in Nature.

I live in Japan, are you going to tell me it's a younger population? Or perhaps you'll make some claim about the healthcare system here based on… what I could not say as you have yet to give any indication of how your notions are backed, other than by political, tribal concerns.

As I've shown, one simple search should've turned up something, as I have a whole host of results. Biases should not go unchallenged, especially not through wilful ignorance.
