      I'm confused. That article isn't about Great Britain and the virus.

      I was only joking

        Somewhat true. It's about the UK's bad hair man being better than the US's bad hair man:

        The latest seven-day rolling average of deaths has the United Kingdom at around 40 covid-19 deaths per day, or about one death per 1.5 million residents. By contrast, that same statistic for the United States is around 1,150 per day, or roughly one death for every 290,000 residents. That comparison is even more glaring because Britain has the highest current death rate in Europe. Italy, for example, has been averaging only about six deaths per day. Or, to put it bluntly: At the moment, the United States has a covid-19 death rate that is five times worse than the worst country in Europe.

          That article is utter bollocks. All it really says is things in England look pretty much like they do in the US.

            I think that it's fair to say that while Boris has been described as the British Trump, it's also very clear that Trump is an American johnson.

              You believe that even if the USA have different President, that the COVID-19 pandemic could not have been handled any better than it has been, is that right?

                Better in what way?

                Keep in mind that the president has other responsibilities.
