The figures were correct at the time I posted but since then Germany has increased their figures.
I always use the following website:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
By population the UK is 17th in the world, by deaths 5th in the world.
Nothing to be proud of.

By population density we are amongst the most densely populated

Statistics do not always show the whole truth. Lots of other countries have vast areas of uninhabited land with few people which distort the real picture.
Take the UK and Australia for example:
UK is approx 32 times smaller than Australia
Population of UK is 68 million, Australia is 25 million.
However if you list the city populations in order of size:
London 9.3 million, Manchester, 2.73, Birmingham, 2.6, Glasgow 1.67
Melbourne 4.97, Sydney 4.92, Brisbane 2.4, Perth 2.1
So you can see that the majority of the population of Oz lives in just 4 cities so the fact that the area of Australia is almost 3 million square miles is irrelevant.
Both countries are islands but quick and decisive action by the Australian government has restricted the number of deaths to less than a thousand.
