Statistical analysis in January reveals that 12.4M people in the UK will have had COVID

and at that time we hit 100,000 deaths = 0.8%

of course you're free to provide your own facts.

As I've said on a number of occasions we go into lockdowns because the same principles apply as last February/March. The only thing that changes this is mitigation to control the spread of the virus.
We go into lockdown for one reason and one reason only, so as not to overwhelm the NHS.

If we had thousands of intensive care beds and unlimited nurses we wouldn't lockdown.

Interesting to use "extremely small sample size" to discount scientific evidence as unworthy of further discussion or investigation.
ahh, but there's the point, They're using a small sample size for "action" not "discussion or Investigation"

Which is totally their prerogative of course, might be considered as a bit knee jerk though.
