The Chinese, a great bunch of lads. Appears that quantities of the recently arrived PPE are not fit for purpose, 3/4 length sleeves on gowns, density of material used in gowns not up to standard. Surely there are manufacturers in Ireland that are capable of manufacturing this stuff? I know O’Neills in Strabane are manufacturing PPE now and hired back 150 of their 750 strong workforce. 
Strong? In Tyrone? It is early for you to be starting!
LOL I resisted the urge to type UK based O’Neills. 
I long for the day Ireland is reunited...a 31 county Republic without Tyrone too much to ask for?Shocked

Why does the UK have such a high death rate from the virus.

38,000 cases with 3600 deaths is like absurdly high.

And it's not just elderly/vulnerable people either. We've had 13 year old boys, 30 year old healthy men and women

To quote you: Tickle me sideways and knock me down with a feather

There are thousands more people in the UK that were and are affected and haven't been tested. When the UK took so long to close down it business, schools and restaurants and especially pubs.  The government's delay, will have let huge community transmissions go unchecked. 

At a guess I would say the UK will be very high in the worst affected countries in Europe, based on population. 
It would damage this forums' reputation

As widely reported the number of cases is inaccurate and overall tested is low compared to some other countries.

91% are over 60 years - would that not be similar to other countries? 

Just over half of coronavirus-related deaths announced by hospitals in England so far have been people aged 80 and over, according to NHS England.

As of 5pm on April 2, 1,749 (53%) of the 3,302 deaths were aged 80 or above, while 1,291 (39%) were 60-79 years old.

A further 233 (7%) were aged 40-59, with 26 (1%) aged 20-39 and three (0.1%) aged 0-19.

I get that man. I'm not that much of an idiot.

The point I was getting at we have healthy young aged victims whereas typically the virus would prey on the elderly/those with health issues.

Wasn't it supposed to be a fatality rate of something like 0.2% between people of the age of 18-39

 18 of the 22 people who died were in the east of the country, three were located in the south, and one was in the west of the country. 

There was an even split in the sex of the fatalities, as 11 were men and 11 were women. 16 of the people who died had an underlying health condition.

Herd immunity

They didn’t prepare properly or think it would come to their country until it was too late

Events like Cheltenham and Liverpool v atletico, among other football matches and sporting occasions went ahead well into March 

Even still they haven’t closed public transport or the London Underground 

Lack of beds and PPE In the hospitals after years of Tory government 

Just some of the reasons

The tube is the main reason, but the London Underground is a factor too.

Only one of those reasons answers the question why the %’s of deaths / cases is deemed higher.

But I get your point, the UK will have a high numbers of cases that could/can be avoided.

I went to the shops today and the area was more busy than London city centre.

just for comparison sake here are the death rates per 1 million of population as it stands today
Italy 243
Spain 235
France 100
UK 53
Ireland 24
USA 21
China 2

Obviously this is based on reported cases and why you can’t take any figure at face value but a good indictor all the same
