Of course you’re right about the mortality rate, it’s still early days so the rate could end up being lower. As for our health care system, it’s not so vastly superior as it used to be, and only for those who can afford it. We rank 37th in the world, vs Switzerland at 20 - which quickly is becoming one of the hotspots for Covid-19. Since there is no real treatment for it, the quality of our healthcare has less impact.
