Deaths per million
Belgium 974
Spain 767
UK 680
Italy 634
France 551 (but with approx 1/3 the population density of Belgium or UK)
Tests per million
UK 492k
Spain 356k
Germany 260k
France 257k
Almost as if the way covid was seeded in the UK and the high population density resulted in the kind of death toll experienced by other comparable European countries.
Scientists across the country have worked their nuts off to get testing to world class levels. The only EU country with more per capita testing than the UK is Denmark.
The most promising vaccine candidates is the UK led Oxford / Astrazeneca vaccine.
The UK company GSK produces the world's leading adjuvant. A material that amplifies the effect of vaccines, meaning less vaccine is required per dose. They have teamed up with a range of international companies to help develop and manufacture vaccines to overcome the pandemic.
And all I hear is how s**te this country is.
