Only US is judged to have dealt with it worse, after it was reported the UK has the highest death toll of any country in Europe.

"More people in this country now believe the UK has performed worse than Italy, Spain and France in the Covid-19 crisis than say it has done better than its European neighbours, according the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.

The data shows that only the United States is judged by a majority of people in the UK to have fared worse. While two weeks ago more people thought that the UK had done better than Italy and Spain, now the reverse is the case."

Kim Jong-un, Jair Bolsonaro, and Rodrigo Duterte are all much worse, just to name a few.

He’s shredded as much of it as he can, but only the part remaining is keeping him from the three listed above IMO. And Putin has pretty much become a dictator.
