You're always angry.

Besides the government has followed SAGE or that sect of data modelers and scientists that you guys sheep for pretty much all the way.

That's what the inquiry will show.

This figure isn't even accurate as it includes all deaths within 28 days, plus wasn't it the case that financial inducements were given early on to register a covid death? Also, dying 'with' covid, not 'of' was also included which also muddies that statistic.

Personally I think you're all nuts and you have overseen the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to corporations in history.

But hey, you stay angry....personally I don't think the anger will ever be really real until you're forced to go from two cars to one....or downsize your abode.

Which, I don't wish for you by the way.

But they haven't though, have they? They've delayed taking any recommended action until it's literally too late and the horse has bolted to every part of the country.

They didn't take it seriously enough to start with by which stage it had already taken a stranglehold on the country and all the way through it has been a deadly combination of delay, indecision, muddled messaging and lack of clear leadership.

You downplay the figures but look at excess deaths over the past 12 months. That's a hell of a lot of people dying for other reasons who just so happened to have Covid at some point in the last 28 days.

You mention transfer of wealth - just how many billions have we given again in contracts to those with links to the Tory party? At least they've lined their pockets from it.

Of course the economic damage is going to hurt for a good while. But I'd rather be poorer than be dead.

The government have implemented a number of his suggestions - albeit about two weeks after he suggested them and again, it was too late to do anything else.

I'd imagine about about 10 minutes in Boris Johnson's company.

The Government would struggle to have followed Scientific advice if we are all honest.
It has been varied, changes every day and there are more Scientific opinions than you can shake a stick at!

100,000 is the capacity of Wembley Stadium in a population of 65 million people.

So while serious it is not much worse than a bad flu epedemic.

Certainly Johnson thought so, and it interfered with the tories brexit dream, they just thought it was foreign and unlikely here damaging the economy etc.

If it hadn't been for Macron threatening to shut the border altogether Johnson would have carried on ignoring the reality from Italy etc. and we would indeed now be looking at pandemic figures.

The Asian flu epedemic of 1957, completely ignored by MacMillans Tory government, was left to NHS doctors to manage and claimed over 80,000 lives.

The difference I fear is there is not a foreseeable end to this and we will have to accept fundamental changes in our lives.

But it is very much a case of work it out for yourself.

Governments are seriously damaging to your health.
