Italy’s own statistics unit says they expect the real death toll is at least half as big again.

Countries are clearly different.

Portugal did the same as us. Sweden did less. Both have faired better.

So populations are different.

And as for what we did it was guided by alarmist doctors and medical academics whose most consistent quality is wide disagreement with each other. Ferguson made it impossible by telling Boris unless he locked down we would have 250000 dead, and Sweden’s lax approach would cost them 50000 lives. His predictions have been consistent only in that they were consistently wrong.

With only Belgium close 380 England is by far the highest population density in the EU with 400
London is bigger than Berlin and Paris put together. That I suspect is what made the difference.

I wonder if every other country is counting their cause of death in the same way.

At least our hospitals have not been overrun, we have not had coffins piled up in in refrigerated lorries and we have not had mass graves.
Of course the press do not wish to report the positives, if that's what they can be called.
