The 2 countries with the least amount of viable comparisons are UK and New Zealand in relation to demographics and people per square mile I’m afraid.
Social media seems to have turned this pandemic into a country vs Country competition which is utter nonsense and no 2 scientists or ‘expert’ seem to 100% agree.
If China had told the truth of their numbers and shown the R rate etc we may have had a better chance of the rest of the world monitoring this and making different earlier decisions.
Good luck to everyone no matter where they are and although it looks like every country has reached or is over the peak, we don’t want a phase 2.

Yes indeed Our Govt, who proved they Failed in a test run of a pandemic attack four years ago, have successfully proven again they can fail easily in a real life & death version of a pandemic. Also noted that UK is an Island and can easily close its borders (except for essential supplies) I have no idea why they didn't do that as soon as the news of the Wuhan incidents occurred in January.
Only this weekend someone in govt who seems to have a degree in the 'Obvious' has decided to 'quarantine' passengers flying in to UK. Yes, not stop/ close but quarantine. I am appalled and so terribly sad for all those poor souls . God bless and Stay safe.

Hi...I agree ...it seems obvious that Borders should have been closed by exception...People who live in the UK and were returning home could then have been tested and /or self isolated. January 1st to March 23rd...18.1 million people into the UK...a little short of 300 quarantined...Every day I watch the Downing street broadcast with increasing disbelief...Following the science...even the scientists report the the science has been cherry picked rather than consulted and agreed upon...this crisis is not about politics it should be about life and the future. Keep well ...keep safe.

Good post eltel01 just cannot believe they are testing the odd ilegal immigrant arriving by boat yet thousands are arriving by plane straight out in society without being tested.
