It seems that the more masks and tests, the fewer deaths ...
Throughout 2020, European media focused on the number of deaths in the United States. Yet the death rate was no higher there than in Europe.
In Belgium, the government insisted on the low number of deaths compared to its neighbours. Of course, when one compares to countries where the population is at least five times as numerous... The death rate in Belgium was then 2 to 4 times higher than among its neighboirs and one of the worst in the world.
