UK official COVID death figure is hugely underestimated ...

[SueEllen]

I think from an economic point of view, letting the people in care homes get decimated makes a lot of sense and helps keep our official death rate in Hospitals look almost reasonable compared to the rest of the world. The politicians have already had a lucky win with the disease not calling for extended periods in ICU as people tend to either get better or die quite quickly.

I hope you do a Boris Johnson.

Yeah, like nobody will ever find out about care homes death.

This tulip works in countries that can easily fake stats - China, North Korea, Russia.

Also if virus was not minigated then there would be bodies everywhere: 1 mln+ easily.

^^^ Good to see that someone's been drinking the Ugly Mother****er Cummings' kool-aid.

Tories lie 97.2% of the time about government statistics.

... according to this research that brings in ONS figures:

UK coronavirus deaths more than double official figure according to FT study | Free to read | Financial Times

Shocking how many are dying in care homes and at home.
Those dying at home is particularly concerning - the 111 advice, which I've experienced, is almost designed to make you wait till its too late

But hey, never mind, musn't grumble.
