How many deaths?
Cases vs Deaths are two different things.
Cases v deaths are two different things - but it’s become solely about hospital bed capacity in the UK and most of the EU.
Nowhere has hospital capacity been increased in the past year. In fact in the UK available beds are down 10% on pre-plague figures to create “social distancing” in hospital wards.
The UKs overall increased number of deaths (all causes on a 5-year moving average) was just 7% up to the year ended 2021-02-28. We have paid an almighty price for a small uptick in deaths - almost all among a very narrow cohort.
In 30 minutes our Prime Minister will be outlining the next steps for England. They had better be good, because with all the over 50s vaccinated now, we need to get back to normal by 2021-06-20 as previously promised. Otherwise vaccines will be pointless - a point on which the rest of Europe looks upon the UK for the direction of travel.
