In a survey carried in the UK in May 2020, Brit's perceived their country's handling of the coronavirus situation fairly average in comparison to some other countries. The survey found that there was a large amount of admiration for the way the coronavirus pandemic has been dealt with in Germany, with 21 percent of respondents of the opinion that the UK has handled the situation a little worse than Germany, and a further 30 percent said the UK has handled the situation a lot worse. On the other hand, 27 percent of Brits think the UK has tackled the crisis much better than the United States.
