Possibly because their customers cough more than others.........

Hungary: 254 / million.
EU27/EEA: 432 / million.
UK: 732 / million.

Where did you get your statistics from? Looking at BBC news website it's reporting Hungary's covid 19 deaths are worse than UK!

I've got similar figures as Expatrick taken from Worldometers.com.

The ECDC are using last 14 days cumulative figures for deaths.

I agree. I've noticed standard of English on BBC News website is not same as in the past. They seem to be heading in same direction as Daily Mail.

I don't trust the UK figures as:

1 - the government can't count properly
3 - they fudge the numbers to back up their policy decisions
4 - Boris is well known to "misspeak" and tell untruths (blatantly lie some might say)

Gallows humour:
My wife just told me that in spite of the curfew you can go out at night - if your dog needs to do his/her business ...
Fun fact:
The Covid vaccine produced by Pfizer was developed by German company BioNTech which was founded by two docs/medicine profs - a Turkish couple who still manage it.
Those two are children of Turkish families who came to Germany as "guest workers" - the husband's father worked at Ford in Cologne.

This is going to put up the price of second hand dogs !!
Oh - and you have to stay within 500m from your residence.

Wolfi - Gallows humour? More like nudge, nudge, wink, wink .... are you sure your wife wasn't referring to "dogging"?
On the issue of taking dog/s for walk after 8pm it's so dark in our village it's too dangerous. Street lights are dreadful here but then I'm grateful I don't have a streetlight right outside my bedroom window!
