But nearly every government is also twisting figures in one way or the other (purposefully or not).

My point on the confirmed case rate being much, much higher than the official figures show is that it means the mortality rate - even if the deaths are much higher than the official figures show - is probably lower overall.

There's no chance an illness which 80% of people who test positive will have had very mild symptoms at the most has a mortality rate of 10-15%.
I don't care what other Governments are doing, I'm only concerned with how my Government is handling it, and if we are top of the list for deaths in Europe or anywhere near top 3 we need a national enquiry into what has failed here and the mistakes that have been made.
 
Not really it's reported the worst day ever backlogs in places .....if your family is starving and you get a job offer self employed what alternatives have they got?
When Blair suggest some to eateries should open as he is getting bored with his wife's cooking it sends out the wrong message........
I think you might be paraphrasing somewhat here Joe
 
And yet they are still building more Nightingale units.

If the ICU isnt overloaded and we are meant to be over the peak, why are they STILL building new Units?

Murderous scum, as a wise man once said.
Nightingale hospitals they have no doctors and nurses for....makes you think.
 
I really don't think you can pin this just on 'self-employed' Joey, tbf.

It seems much more likely to me it's companies that shut for three weeks and then have decided to open again.
So the distancing and stay at home and away from people thing in England is breaking down?
 
Looking like we are the worst in Europe at dealing with this, that's a disgrace.

No wonder the Govt are fudging figures, some serious flack coming their way for this, they won't be able to keep the Wolf from the door for ever, Starmer won't allow that to happen, the truth will out.
He needs to up his game about 1000%.

Never mind the political etiquette - he has to be calling a spade a spade here. This is mass murder.

Very early days, Starmer was the one calling for Parliment to resit in some form to hold the decisions of this Government to account, he's got his eye on the ball.

not really

just that there has definitely been more traffic on the roads in the last few days (during the day - after 5pm it's deathly quiet around me) than there had been in the previous few weeks, though.

I don't know where people are going though cause there's nowhere to go
