Here's my statistic based on the same evidence.

Apart from Italy and Belgium, the UK has the highest number of deaths per capita of the high income countries of Western Europe and Scandanavia. It's also worth noting that Covid probably hit Italy sooner than the UK.
Some rather spectacular cherry picking there! Note I played it with a straight bat and listed the stats, you twisted them. It's a fair point on Georgia and Armenia, although Georgia is rarely regarded as Asian.

Some great nit-picking but you made no reference to the vaccine development or roll out or economic support.

You are illustrating exactly the kind of point I was making. Even when it's spelt out in black and white people will partake in all kinds of mental gymnastics to try and make things look different to reality.

The odd thing is it is their own country they are always so desperate to talk down.

Like I said, some things have been done well and some things badly, UK has done better on some things and worse on others. Just accept that. What's so hard with accepting reality? Why the desperation to present things other than they actually are unless you have some political motivation for it?
