There's even countries in Europe that have fewer deaths/capita right now than Germany (Norway, Greece, Austria, most of Eastern Europe to name a few), despite being hit at roughly the same time.

They're the ones who took things seriously from the start and had their shit together. They stopped people at the border and gave them a test, or if they didn't have enough tests, they made people coming from outside their country stay in quarantine until they had a chance to test them. We did none of that. Ever.

When they found someone with CV, they traced all the people that person had been in contact with and made them quarantine until they'd had a test too. Meanwhile we were having Cheltenham and football matches and Boris going to hospital shaking hands with people.

I mean, I really don't get why you keep acting like it's some mystery, like no-one ever thought about what to do in case of a pandemic and countries are just randomly doing shit and hoping it works. Just because we seem to be doing random shit doesn't mean everyone else has been.
