those numbers are not really comparable if you don't factor demographics like proportion of age groups in population, average life expectancy, how overloaded or capable is the health system, how are deaths counted and social habits like cogenerational living (IT/ES) vs most single person households at least in Europe (SE) or even how people socialize with greetings (FR, ES, IT), how common is social distancing

many of these would explain why SoKo, Japan and Sweden fare well without lockdown
