I’d say that gives a far better perspective than your deaths figure for one week. Does the fact that the writer of the article makes no mention of our relatively poor showing compared to most of the bigger Western European countries make him a UK Government stooge I wonder? Using the logic you employ to discredit the piece, I rather think it does, but as you’re only intent on defending the UK Government (as you always do despite your self proclaimed political balance), I don’t suppose that bothers you too much.

Also, isn’t the Daily Mail defined as an unreliable source by Wikipedia? By the way, I read the Daily Mail in much the same way as you read the Guardian. I often look at it to see what the “other side” is saying and then nine times out of ten dismiss it - the difference between us is that I readily acknowledge what I am (a “lefty” and happy to be one), whereas you harbour this delusion that you come at things n a balanced way when anyone reading your contributions to this thread (and plenty of others) can see that you don’t.
Newspapers aside the UK gov data supports some of what TOBW says. But of the home nations, since the start of the pandemic, per capita Wales has the highest incidence, the highest number of deaths as reported as Covid-19 on the death certificate, and highest number of patients admitted to hospital.

All this despite more rigorous restrictions in Wales than the other home nations. So if Worldometers show UK in a bad light compared to many parts of Europe, then what about Wales and our Sendedd...keeping Wales safe!!
