@JGForsyth How can you write this article on this without questioning: (1) the fact that hospital deaths have been under 20 for 2 wks and under a handful for days;...

(2) That T-cell immunity suggests we may already have herd immunity, reached at between 10-20% of the population infected (see medrxiv.org/content/10.110… and medrxiv.org/content/10.110…);...
(3) that those tested positive may not have been infectious for ten weeks (see medrxiv.org/content/10.110…)...
... or (inter alia) 4) that PHE have admitted that deaths on the general list not specific to hospitals include anyone who has ever tested positive, making death rates outside hospitals inherently unreliable.
Together, they cripple the speculation that there will be a second wave and radically undermine the case for any restrictions based on extremely limited and valueless test results.
It is your job to hold the government to account. Doing that requires being on top of the evidence and data.
