If you should go skating, on the thin ice of modern life, dragging behind you the silent reproach, of a million tear-stained eyes...

So 🤔

And so?

LOl, Belgium just has a better registation system. UK deaths over 50,000 and rising...

Everyone likes to compare with the worse one, and then get back confidence from it

There’s no point in highlighting this when deaths are counted differently. Belgium includes deaths in care homes not tested for Covid. When other countries start being honest with figures, which include care homes deaths, then you can pump out these headlines.

England makes case against Belgium for 3rd place in Covid deaths

And...?

Doesn't detract from the diabolical job they've done here. It's not a competition for crying out loud!

...tell the UK to bugger off....please....

Belgium counts deaths in different ways. They count even suspected COVID deaths as well.

It’s like the U.K. gov is determined to create as big as possible divide, hatred between UK and the rest of Europe.

Does it matter?

Hey,junior British health minister just shut up? What is your point?What you know about statistic?

US says we are the best!

Only the countries doing badly compare themselves with others... they’re taking a cue from Trump

I thought UK Government weren't keen on comparisons. Perhaps this one is ok as it puts them in a better position than another Country.

Our deaths are better than your deaths

Anything from the UK government to deflect on what a crappy job they've done on COVID19.

oh well, all good then
