% as you well know are the worst metric. If a week goes by without a person dying, then if one person dies then week after, hey presto a 100% increase.

Your “ deaths 38%” is actually an increase of 16 people.......16...........aaaaarrrrghh..it’s the end I tell you, .........the end .
And what stops such percentage increases continuing, and even rising?

Nothing.

Intervention is required the only questions are how much and when. Same old story as March last year, September, January. Flawed decision making at this stage ends one way: lockdown.

We know you enjoy proposing to steer the country into another lockdown - a staple of your input into this thread even if you don’t realise it - the rest of us are quite sick of them.

I'm genuinely interested why people post stuff that's so easily disproved.
Why change the habit of a pandemic? I’m genuinely interested in the motivation as it’s neither health or the economy.
