It's the daily deaths figure that concerns me Bpool. We've all taken our eye off that in the relief over the daily case numbers falling in late July. But the daily deaths have kept on rising remorselessly. 6 weeks ago, at the back end of July, the 7 day average of daily deaths was 68. Today it is 135. Hopefully today's figures are a bit of an exaggeration due to the way deaths were reported over the bank holiday weekend last week. But however you look at it, daily deaths have increased by well over 50% since the end of July and there's little sign that the rise is running our of steam.
Yep shaggy. Maybe every medical records officer everywhere in the world is in on a Great Reset conspiracy.
With hospitalisations and deaths rising and evidence of the need for booster jabs in the older/more vulnerable (given they were jabbed first) increasingly strong what are the government doing?Where is the decision to offer vaccines to 12-15 year olds before they increasingly spread Covid between themselves and then onto the elderly as they do every year with flu?Where is the rollout of the booster vaccines which is needed before time runs out to get this done to sufficient levels before winter sets in?Where are the vaccine passports and additional 'stick' measures to encourage the selfish bas**rd unvaccinated who are driving this rise in cases, hospitalizations and deaths?Slow and reactive rather than proactive sums the Government up on this pandemic. Need a primary reason why we have one of the worst death rates in the world - look no further.

Dickos.It's called the Precautionary Principle.When you are facing a major danger, it is utterly irresponsible to be optimistic that everything will turn out alright. If I'd done that in Feb and early March 2020, my business would have folded. As it was, by seeing a f**king great danger coming over the horizon, at a time when others were insisting that things weren't going to be too bad, I had my staff work overtime to finish three major contracts just before lockdown came in. That gave us the income to see us through the lockdown.As regards interpretation of actual data and you saying I always put a negative spin on it, I assume you didn't bother to read what I have said just a couple of hours ago. I said that there were reasons why the current death rate might be an overestimate. Why would I have said that if I was the person you believe me to be, who never says anything positive on the subject.What I do, at every stage, is to make an assessment of where I think we are. Sometimes I get that wrong, but overwhelmingly I have got it right over the past 18 months. What fascinates me is the attitude of some folk in here. On the rare occasions that I have been wrong on the negative side, there's been a few who have gleefully rushed in to point it out. When I've been broadly right, the same folk complain that I'm not optimistic enough, as though being optimistic is the way to defeat an epidemic.
because you are the defender of the government's position on this, the massively high death rate are you not?

So no vaccine passports then. Strange, because on Friday a Cabinet Minister said it was almost certain they'd bring them in for nightclubs. Then suddenly this morning we don't need them.
It was always going to go up in august with things just opening, hopefully we can get the numbers down a little now
