International Lockdown Effectiveness - Part 2

I last wrote about lockdown effectiveness (or lack thereof) back in April 2020. In the same way, I'm once again thinking about virus stats instead of studying... ?

So after all this time, how do country's cases and deaths compare? Let's have a look shall we? I've picked out six countries that have been in the UK news a lot recently.

Here's the number of cases in each country as a percentage of the population. As before, populations are approximate. In order of severity:

CountryPopulation (millions)Cases% of population
USA330.6421,761,1866.58%
UK67.822,957,4764.36%
France65.252,701,6584.14%
Brazil213.348,013,7083.76%
South Africa59.31,192,5702.01%
NZ51,8630.04%

Here is the percentage of each population dead due to covid-19:

CountryPopulation (millions)Deaths% of population
UK67.8279,8330.12%
USA330.64365,8860.11%
France65.2567,0490.1%
Brazil213.34201,4600.09%
South Africa59.332,4250.05%
NZ5250.0005%

Why is there such a high chance of death in the UK compared to anywhere else? Again, why is this not being reported on? ?‍♂️
