As of April 13, 2024, the Coronavirus Tracker is no longer being updated due to the unfeasibility of providing statistically valid global totals, as the majority of countries have now stopped reporting.

So that's the end of coronavirus tracking. It has finally become "just like winter flu" because governments don't care how many it kills. They can pretend the pandemic is over simply by not reporting the thousands it is still killing each week.

The final tally when updates ended -

UK Infected : 24,812,582
UK Deaths : 232,112

US Infected : 111,820,082
US Deaths : 1,219,487

That shows 37% of Brits were infected, and 34% of Americans.

Both show almost 4 in every 1,000 were killed by covid. Though the ratio was worse in America than the UK it seems fair to say the UK suffered as badly under Johnson as the USA did under Trump.

New Zealand was always the comparative reference point. The country which did far better by imposing prompt and proper lockdown and then pursuing herd immunity only after the virus weakened and effective vaccinations and treatments were available -

NZ Infected : 2,621,111
NZ Deaths : 5,697

As a result, over half of New Zealanders were infected (51%), but only 1 in 1,000 died, just a quarter of the number killed in the UK and US.

If Johnson had done it properly, if Matt Hancock hadn't played Doctor Death with his care home genocide we could have kept deaths at 50,000. Almost 200,000 deaths (78%) were caused by government policy and incompetence.

If Trump had done it properly, American deaths could have been limited to half a million. Almost a million deaths (75%) were due to Trump, his covid denial, and his refusal to keep Americans safe.
