The revolution in public health *is* starting. Governments, thought leaders and regressive institutions will eventually catch up. Sadly, I think the UK will be in the slow lane.

This is a wilfully manipulative and misleading article from the BBC, misinterpreting and minimizing data. This is dangerous for an open and democratic society. It will only lead to more deaths and more chronic illness.
1/4
They suggest a 24% rise in hospitalisations is a "very small increase"!!! They ignore recent data from Scotland where we have seen increases of 40%+ for the last two weeks, and hospital trusts under immense pressure.
They calculate the infection rate at 1 in 25,000 (!!!) based on current testing regimes, and compare this to 1 in 13 in March 2020.
Apart from being totally scientifically inumerate, this also sounds factually wrong; March 2020 wasn't the big infection wave! 3/4
