March 9th, Spain passed the 1000 cases mark
March 14, UK passed the 1000 cases mark (5 days difference)

On March 9th, Spain had 30 deaths
On March 14, UK had 21 deaths

5 days ago in Spain (which should be today in UK)
50000 cases with 3647 deaths
UK today has 22000 cases and 1400 deaths

Unless your government is not telling the truth about the deaths, it does look like the death-rate in UK is/should be lower than what was being projected

I know it shouldn't, be it has irked me that the government has had to step in to help people who were too stupid and ignorant to use basic common sense and get back to the country when it was obvious that things were going tits up all over the world. Especially those who were stuck on cruises struggling to get back - like, how the beep did they not hear of the numerous cruise ships that have struggled in the past couple of months.

Would rather be tracking forward runs and pass rates but data is data.

Just to stick up for those I can. I had a friend that's only just got back from the Philippines a couple of days ago after trying for nearly 2 weeks just to misinformation from their airlines.
