The People’s Republic of China is the most dangerous evil in our world today. Particularly due to its pernicious influence throughout the world and in international institutions.
No, the most *dangerous* evil for the world. There are worse regimes - Isis, etc - but they are not as dangerous. China’s tentacles, on the other hand, are everywhere.
@cjsnowdon@mitrebarnet Then why do you reply with something about deaths, not hospitalisations?
1. Data on hospital ‘admissions’ of patients with C19 includes anyone who has had a positive PCR test up to 14 days before admission, on admission or after admission: (coronavirus.data.gov.uk/about-data#eng…)/
@cjsnowdon@mitrebarnet 2. Any person testing positive within different seven day periods would be counted within each of those? See, from the NHS publication:
For example, if a person was tested on Thursday and Friday of the same week, they would only be counted once in the reporting week.
@cjsnowdon@mitrebarnet However, if someone was tested on Tuesday and Friday of the same week, that individual would be counted in 2 reporting periods, as the 2 tests fall into different 7-day reporting periods.

Surprise, surprise. The Year Zero idea that we can end a pandemic through vaccination - which has never happened before - has feet of sand. Every other respiratory pandemic has ended through exposure, natural immunity and evolution to less fatal strains. blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/01/04…
I say Year Zero because the singular feature of the reaction to this pandemic has been the refutation of all prev experience of how pandemics develop & how they are addressed; & all previous pandemic planning, right up to October 2019, as I set out below:
That is not to say that vaccines might not have a part to play. They might. But the fact that vaccines take years to develop is not merely due to the need to test them adequately for adverse reactions. It is because of the need to test their effectiveness.
Powerful? You mean a powerful symbol of how far we have gone from having an independent judiciary? A judge expanding his own propaganda when punishing a man for exercising his fundamental democratic rights.
I see that Hancock is still promoting the lie of asymptomatic transmission. Without that lie, the whole house of cards - anti-social distancing, masks, closing hospitality and restricting day to day life - would collapse. aier.org/article/asympt…
