UK Covid death toll

[baggy1]

And what do those ONS screenshots come from? Just a bit of context please for your conspiracy theories.

Ignoring the fact that we have 2000 people a week dying early and hospitalisations rising on a weekly basis your best defence is a couple of screenshots of an excel sheet without any context.

The latest ONS survey, dated 4 December -  the national statistician has downgraded its estimate of coronavirus in England on 17 October to just 4.89 people per 10,000. And it now says the the incidence of coronavirus in England barely increased until after the start of lockdown - and even during lockdown it says the prevalence never got above 6.62 per 10,000 (on 12 November).

Decisions are being made that drastically affect our lives using data which is then MASSIVELY revised down afterwards. This is fuckwittery of the highest order.

So basically you are saying that there was an estimate made that didn't occur, and the rising number of hospitalisations and deaths that did occur don't mean anything. And you wonder why your point about leaving it up to the common sense of the public is what we should do is questioned.
