Govt figures not looking good. Number of daily infections hit a new high yesterday at some 81,000. The actual number of deaths remains “relatively low”. And this regardless of how you measure it. The “within 28 days of positive test” figures and the “Covid on death certificate” are more or less equal at about 900 per week. Two or three weeks ago, the “certificate” figure was only 10 per cent of the “28 days” figure. These are, of course, government figures. To be treated with care given Boris’s relationship with the truth.
