Anger flared last night after the Department of Health and Social Care’s
Twitter account was used in an effort to rubbish a report challenging official scaremongering by analysing key facts about the coronavirus pandemic.

Under the headline ‘Covid: What They Don’t Tell You’, a two-page article in
yesterday’s Daily Mail raised multiple questions about the manner in which
the Government has dealt with the crisis.

It pointed out that Government predictions on the number of the potential
deaths from the virus were wildly inaccurate. In a July report commissioned
by Chief Medical Officer Sir Patrick Vallance, scientists predicted that there
could be 119,000 fatalities if a second wave coincided with a peak of winter
flu – but the actual figure has so far turned out to be less than half of that.

The article also pointed out the number of deaths are not far above average
for this time of year and that only 31 per cent of intensive care unit beds in
hospitals are currently occupied by Covid patients.

is that Parmy?

Hmm, I wonder who is in the right? A department of government scientists who have spent the past year looking at every aspect of the virus, and how to take measures to avoid it.

Or a Daily Heil journalist?

i refer you to Mike Grahams tweet in the above article


This article is exactly what out press should be doing and the questions they should be asking the Government. The fact that they tweeted that and hastily deleted it is very revealing.

his predictions have been way off as the article states

[Tom4784]

I couldn't imagine being so indoctrinated and gullible to believe a tabloid over the science, but then again you've got millions of middle aged and older people acting like toddlers because they have to wear a piece of fabric across their mouth to walk around a supermarket for ten minutes.

So yeah, lower your expectations of people who actually read the Daily Mail, I guess.

There were 2,838 Covid-19 deaths registered in the UK in the week starting 13 November.

This is up by 612 in a week, latest official figures show.

In all, there were 13,972 deaths in the UK in the week of 13 November, up by 542 on the previous week and 19% above the five year average for this week.

"Excess" deaths are the difference between the deaths seen this year and the average over the previous five years for the same weeks.
