It's only the constant pressure from Left-wing clowns to report deaths contrary to the WHO standard that has given the UK the "highest" number of deaths in Europe. And comparing numbers without considering population size or population density is moronic.
Well said. It's been disingenuous of the media not to quote the death rate per 1 million of population, but just as raw numbers in order to give a more sensational and negative headline. For the record the rate per 1 million stands today at Belgium 747, Spain 560, Italy 503 and UK 465.
