How do you know we have a smaller death rate?

Take Spain - looking at the charts, we were about 4-5 days behind Spain the the early stages of cases/deaths, but our curve has been flatter since then, which given the exponential function means that the total cases will be much lower.

No disrespect mate but the UK is probably at least 14 days behind Spain. And because the government arrived at the party late, the curve might be far more severe and delayed. But I hope you're right.

Are you trying to suggest that this denotes some form of political success? When only a matter of weeks ago when Madrid was on virtual lockdown, we allowed 3,000 Atletico fans to travel here and form part of a 50k crowd at a football match?

People moaning about Charles having a test and that he's taking one test away from someone else, boils my pi$$ it really does.
90k have been tested in London, and there's outrage about a fella over 70 having a test, nevermind he's the future king of the country
3/4 of this country is inhabitated by fukwits, and the birth of social media has shown this.

Is this true?
If so, explains yesterdays figures.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's an active attempt to distort the figures now for political reasons with a lockdown underway.

Take care, mate. You're doing an unforgiving job right now but keeping us all afloat - which doesn't go without recognition. Keep us updated with your own health as much as anything else.

It said that 90,000 had been tested for Covid-19 in London so far with 9,000 testing positive, that was on Sky News less than an hour ago.

People are scared and looking for answers mate. Many people have parents/grandparents over 70 and would love the government to show the same duty in taking care of their elder that they've shown to Prince Charles.

He's over 70, any people over 70 with symptoms will have priority, 90,000 already have had tests and people are moaning about Charlie being one of them.
Can you see the point I'm making?
Exactly.
Last night on Newsnight finally a journalist, Emily Maitlis, did the job of holding the government to account. Nadhim Zahawi couldn't say when there will be 25 000 tests a day as proclaimed by Johnson 10 days ago. He claimed it's gone up from 5 000 10 days ago to 6 000 now 10 days = 1000 more a day. That will mean that it'll take 200 days for there to be 25 000 a day. Zahawi resorted to claiming Maitlis was 'sniping'. I bet she'll be reprimanded for giving a Tory minister a hard time on the Tory controlled BBC. How dare she, hold the government to account!!
It's been the same with ventilators. Hancock keeps claiming that the NHS has 12 000 when it has 8 000. Just because they may have ordered them doesn't mean they have them. It was claimed by Zahawi that they'd be in the NHS hands 'soon' but when pressed by Maitlis again he tried to deflect but couldn't confirm that 12 000 will be in use by the NHS next week, which is Hancock's claim.
We're now entering war time censorship and big Goebbels lies. As seen from not announcing how many people died from coronavirus yesterday from the normal slot of 1 pm. but not until 10pm. On Newsnight the political editor Nick Watt, 'deaths down, is of interest, but need to be careful not to read too much into it, because the department of health, as we speak, is changing the way it is releasing and compiling these figures, normally these figures would come out in the early afternoon, when I lasted looked they'd still not come out. And the reason for that is that it turns out that these figures may not actually be the deaths that have taken place over the last 24 hours, because the department of health, the NHS, needs to have the consent of the families of people who've died to release their figures. So the deaths may have taken place a few days ago. So it's not exactly a like for like figure every day'. What consent?
They've never asked for consent of those that have died from say a road accident or cancer so as to release figures. Not releasing figures and distorting them is part of the government's strategy of underplaying what is happening through deceit. Now that they've got parliament out of the way the government have a free reign to lie to their back teeth as they've done over tests, PPE and ventilators. And no doubt the MSM, and in particular the Tory controlled BBC - with last nights odd except and Piers Morgan odd exception, will all duly stand in line and march as one in protecting the government from too much flak.

Think we should accept that the future king is likely to have priority
