It also shows how their strategies worked in minimising a full lockdown concomitant with minimising deaths and loading in heath services. What it does not do is address the key differences in culture between the UK ad those countries.

The quote stating that the mutation rates in Coronaviruses and Influenza isn't correct. There's plenty of sources that disagree with that, and state that Influenza viruses mutate much faster.
I think this sort of article is appearing in a lot of places that basically seems to take the "our country bad, other country better" line and glosses over some of the facts.
Oh... =D> ...for latching on to something that may or may not be correct and condemning the article on the basis of that.
And if you're going to make a statement such as The quote stating that the mutation rates in Coronaviruses and Influenza isn't correct. then you need to quote your source. Otherwise you sound like Jacob.
Perhaps you'd like to explain why fatalities in Germany are so much lower than here ?

There's many more sources, too many to list.
MedCram videos are some off the best. He explains the rapid mutation rate of Flu viruses that results in 'sloppy' copies - one of the reasons why new flu vaccines are needed yearly. Coronaviruses mutate, but are relatively stable.
I didn't mean to latch on to one example, there are other issues with it, and the general tone is just whining about 'our' Vs 'their' responses without critically thinking about the underlying differences; it is a click-bait article designed to re-enforce existing opinions.
