Still going.

Meanwhile.

Friday.

Saturday

Mid November.

Turns out the number of deaths is almost three times the number that Whitty and Vallance had predicted in their 'example scenario'.

Why we are where we are.

"You’re unlikely to be killed by the coronavirus. Yes, the disease is unpleasant; and, yes, in some circumstances, it can cause complications that lead to fatalities."

Why we are where we are.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and predict there will be no 'second spike' - not now, and not in autumn either. The virus has melted into thin air."

Why we are where we are.

"Corona deaths are down to a handful a day out of a population of 66 million. Basically, I have more chance of marrying Brad Pitt than you have of dying from Covid19."

@JuliaHB1

"Are you under the illusion that people didn't die horrible deaths before 2020?"

@JuliaHB1

May
"There hasn't been a second spike anywhere"

Jul
"Let's relax and accept the risk"

Plague of locusts update.

@JuliaHB1

Bloody locusts.

Why we are where we are.

Person who back in September ridiculed predictions of >200 deaths a day as 'plague of locusts' is fine with 548 daily deaths.

"I do not myself regard Covid as a good enough reason to be vaccinated."

@ClarkeMicah

"seasonal surge collapsed naturally"
