England has the worst excess death rate - the number of additional deaths above the annual average - in Europe during the coronavirus outbreak

England has had the worst excess death rate in Europe during the coronavirus pandemic, according to an EU monitoring project.
Excess death rates show how many more people have died than would usually be expected for the time of year.
The figures are seen as a clue to the number of 'hidden' coronavirus deaths, with official figures almost certain to be incomplete.
Many countries have seen a spike in excess deaths during the pandemic, but figures collected by EU-backed database EuroMOMO show England performing worse than Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or any other European country.

I think in europe they have less deaths because they have simply saved more people, here unfortunatly the uk people have just died without the new hospitals even been used, thats why the nhs has not been overwelmed liked italy, or is that we never had the ventilators in place early on at the start, it all seems a bit odd to me.
