It should (again) be headline news that #Covid19 is so out of control in the UK.
It is the 3rd time since the start of the Pandemic I've started a thread like this. The last two each ended in an unnecessary 40,000 deaths.
If you think vaccines make this ok.
God help you.
To be clear there are no laurels to rest on in the UK as far as vaccines are concerned. The days where the UK could claim to be ahead of Europe on vaccine deployment are long behind us.
You think leaving the EU gave us an advantage? You've missed it meant less honest reporting.
Can we argue our exposure to the Delta variant is what's causing our
5 FOLD
number of cases compared to our nearest neighbours?
No, that looks pretty much identical these days.
So if we're vaccinated less, have the same Delta rate and many more cases can we rely on the fact that the DEATH rate is lower under the vaccine regime.
Or as Tory MPs told us that we've "broken the link with death"
NO. DEATHS ARE FAR WORSE IN THE UK. 2-3 X EU per citizen rate
Am I exaggerating this for political effect.
Maybe I don't actually care about human life, I just care about besmirching the reputation of the good and caring people in power?
Well then presumably our R rate is under control and we're ahead of Europe. They will catch up?
NO
Is there Trumpian nonsense about too many tests to mention?
I showed already absolute deaths are worse so if we are testing more we must be testing less accurately?
Exactly what the data show.
UK tests are an unmanaged scatter gun.
Ineffective.
Less predictive than Europe.
OK but this is the new vaccinated #COVID19. It's under control, we're not putting pressure on the NHS when we know that flu season is coming, right?
NO, NO AND NO
Hospital cases are the worst in Europe AND people who need hospital after infection is far worse than Europe
Maybe the UK has some odd way of reporting #Covid19, it's a difference in the technique, Doctors over report it in the UK? people who would have died anyway are reported as #CoronavirusPandemic deaths?
The way to rule these all out is to look at excess deaths.
UK IS STILL WORSE
So what is going on in UK? Why are more innocent people still dying here? Why does our Government have more blood on its hands than any other country in Europe?
Why did reports show #covid19 to be the worst public health failure of all time?
STRINGENCY
What's stringency?...
Your toddler is pushing knives into electric sockets, do you stop them?
Is that it? Or do you check where they got the knife? How they climbed there?
Managing a virus is not about one thing (vaccine), it's many things (eg. effective tests, quarantines)
We can track these...
People die more in UK for the reason they died more at the start.
Monstrous negligent social mass murderers in charge for whom precautionary principle means lie first, take accountability last
UK is last in the pack for managing this virus carefully
Negligent
Incompetent
Deadly
If only it were just Government.
They could be voted out
Charged for crimes.
But remember how I started this thread.
IT SHOULD BE HEADLINE NEWS
How much corruption in our Press if news of massive incremental death is SUPPRESSED?
It's not just Cabinet who must face charges
