I want to know what it reads on the Damageometer
surprising amount of info worth noting at this Twitter page - both in tweets & re-tweets:

From tomorrows (Daily) Mail:
“we have been through a pandemic which has closed down large parts of the economy and led to us being locked down in our homes for weeks on end – and yet, after all that, it has really just returned us to the mortality rate of 12 years ago”
Toby Young, Gen Sec Free Speech Union, editor of Lockdown Sceptics
“There have been many shocking sights this year. For me, one of the most shocking has been the sight of comfortably off, Oxbridge-educated experts and journalists agitating for the closure of schools even though they know this will hit poor kids hardest.”

“My hospital has seen no cases of schoolchildren directly ill with serious Covid-19 infections – but it has seen a significant number of potentially life-threatening conditions in young people, caused by the secondary effects of lockdown.”

The number of hospital patients on mechanical ventilation is half what it was in April.
ICU occupancy is 78% today. Remarkably low for this time of year.
People actually refusing to believe the data which is filed every single day by every single hospital to the central NHS dashboard.
It’s not open to dispute. But, hey,
If you don’t like these facts we have others...
National hospital bed occupancy is currently 85%. A figure that has been pretty stable for three months.
By contrast, bed occupancy for this quarter last year was 92%.
In fact, winter 2020 is the lowest hospital bed occupancy for 10 years.
Yes, really.

London has now carried out 107,859 lateral flow tests (as used by the Army in Liverpool). There have been 42,000 in the last week.
These tests are far more accurate than PCR.
Why have we heard nothing about the results?
