That doesn’t mean we can’t deal frankly with the data here though. There is simply no evidence of omicron killing anyone in any significant numbers in the UK, and the experience in South Africa, where the omicron wave is weeks ahead of ours, suggests that such evidence will not be forthcoming.
Suggest you go back and listen to your Tory chums when they spoke at the start of the pandemic regarding the lag to people dying

The only reason its losing credibility is because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

Comparing South Africas wave to ours is like comparing apples to oranges Due to demographics, of course you already knew that.

Let’s see where deaths are in 3-4 weeks, if they haven’t significantly increased I’ll apologise
