    Indeed and about time.. for instance they have made a comparsion alot between case in the 1st peak and in the second wave and that they have risen alot, although they do not divide either figures per 100k by the amount of test done at that time and so give’s you an inaccurate picture of the actual scale of the current cases in comparison to before. more test equals more cases detected but deaths are not as high. pretty much the same as crime if they target certain crimes they detect more so reported cases rise and it would appear crime level have risen but they have not just more have been recorded.

    Then there is hospital admissions which does not include data for those discharged and thus once again it seems as if it the data is saying the amount of people taking up beds due to covid in hospitals is really high when that may not be the case, as admissions don’t mean taking up a bed on a ward anymore..

    So imo it gives an untrue picture and paints it as worse than it really is.. covid was it the 14th highest killer last week but we in lockdown because of it again.

    Although my kids still have to go to school and now the school have said parents must now wear face coverings in the playground outside to drop off and collect kids now. Which my partner does. but still when was it the case masks must be worn out side. Not one case has been detected at the school since it opened in sept. so it make no sence on many levels. considering the kids themselves do not wear masks inside the school and obviously mix with other kids and then with those that collect / drop them off.. but it is in responce to the project fear the one where the nhs is overrun every year because capacity has been cut and bed numbers reduced. this 2nd wave was planned way back when they first metioned it as they have the data that says year on year the nhs is full when the season of winter comes around.

    save the nhs ain’t it the other way round the nhs is to save us not us save it and maybe they should spand more money onfixing the seasonal problems instead of using it as a reason to close down the econony.
