I’m still checking the published stats and, to prove that it is just not my paranoia, here is what a survey by Imperial College found:
The number of people testing positive for the coronavirus in England is continuing to rise rapidly, recently doubling every six days.
Regardless of how the figures are broken down, this means that within two weeks, the number of people infected will reach the 1 Jan peak of infection. Further, the survey found…
Between the previous testing round and these recent swabs, infections were doubling every 16 days. But during the recent round only there was an acceleration in growth, with infections doubling every 6 days and a corresponding reproduction number (R) of 1.87.
Now, forgive me if I am wrong, but didn’t the government say that we must aim to get the R number down to less than 1.0 if we are to win against the virus? Well, 1.87 is well north of 1.0. I leave you to make your own conclusions. For me, it just confirms my belief the Boris and his thugs care nothing about public health. As long as their mates are back making pots of money, they’re happy. That said, I’d like to see how they will avoid getting the blame when the NHS cannot cope and we are back to killing gods-know how many thousands of people per year.
