I don't know if there's evidence that early intervention makes much difference. It's more that Switzerland "officially" has 14,000 cases and 250-ish deaths where the UK "officially" has 20000 (or thereabouts) cases but well over 1000 deaths... Which looks much worse... But the truth is the UK testing situation ranges from "poor" to "non-existent" so the true number of cases is probably well over 50,000.
I'd actually say a reasonable assumption would be that Switzerland has over 50k and UK has several hundred thousand.
