1. A thread and sources on UKGov negligence recognising we now have 3rd worst per capita @coronavirus deaths in Europe.
A fact, but a kind benchmark Take the G10, we're 2nd only to the US.
But we can also remove UKGov concerns to show we're on track to be world's worst.

2.UKGov argue that international comparisons are unfair
a) don't compare same start date
b) aren't per capita
c) only one continent.
Let's say that's fair, and remove those objections from data.
vs start date, with per capita vs leading economies in every continent.
It's worse.

3.While UKGov hasn't shared this they know it. Have you noticed the switch, "unfair comparisons" to it's the "scientists fault"?
It's possible to demonstrate how scientific consensus was at odds with UKGov at almost every point. Airports as an example⏬

4. Many have pointed out that from herd immunity to developing apps we seem never to follow success elsewhere prefering to fail on our own.
Well the biggest dilemma currently is ending lockdown. So we've looked at success cases right?

5. The Government is talking up their test and trace plans, forgetting to tell you they cancelled those in March. Schools wisely want to wait until plans are reality.
So the Gov spins this into not caring about education. awkward that this is public⏬

6. Many are coming into this fresh. The tweets and threads above can feel crazy, unbelievable.
I feel it😪 I was there.
UKGov are relying on that, "it can't be" reaction. So all the threads are comprehensively sourced and further reading is here.⏬

7. Feel free to ask questions, challenge positions, link data I missed, or alternative explanations. I'll answer none defensively.
Scientists want critique. Multiple examples in my timeline where I've thanked an error spotter, then corrected. How good is UKGov record on that?

Update
Honestly I didnt plan this, but I noticed I didn't substantiate why our death rate is on track for world's worst.
For that you 7 day average rolling per capita which we already top. It's possible we won't get to the top of total per capita deaths, but likely we will.
