I’m curious what adjusted deaths per million means.
It looks like the graph is showing countries that were doing testing on minor cases (which would have recovered with no/little treatment) vs those that would only test you if you were in a severe condition (or even post mortem in the case of many elderly care home residents in the UK).
I have links to the UK and Greece, I can tell you in Greece the people, government and other organisations took the virus very seriously and had a very effective lockdown, essentially eliminating the virus from the country. At that point people started to break lock down as there was no threat and the government capitulated.
The fact there was such a severe lock down but no cases has caused a backwards think in Greece that there never was a virus and it was a hoax (instead of the correct rational which is the lockdown prevented the spread of the virus). Unfortunately as the borders reopened and people ignore social precautions the insidious virus is worming its way back into the country and looks about to explode.
Incidentally my elderly aunt who lives in Athens passed away a couple of weeks ago and her cause of death was not listed as Covid. She was an absolute star whenever we visited. She’d ask who wanted a pizza and who wanted souvlakia. Regardless of how adamant we were she should only order one or the other she’d always get everybody both. And she always had beer in for guests. Absolute legend.
