"Ah, but what about Belgium?"

-
Belgium only produced a set of figures where all care home deaths were presumed to be Covid-related

To compare like-for-like, this equates most closely to the UK Excess deaths figures.

Neither of them have the confidence of their own vision to drive forward this impasse. May is beholden to the extreme elements of her party as unleashed by Cameron, together with the intransigent DUP. Her entire premiership has been bogged down by two issues; Cameron's Referendum result and her previous role. The legacy of her time at the Home Office lingers on every street of the UK and has tainted her successors precipitously. Her interpretation of the Referendum mandate in an attempt to appease the same elements that Cameron sought to cow has now utterly overwhelmed government.
