Dominic Raab says [UK] Government is 'ready' for TIER FOUR COVID restrictions and hints UK could follow France and Germany into total lockdown - as Birmingham is poised to plunge into Tier Three and country edges toward full shutdown 'by proxy' [ed]

Mr Raab said the Government is 'always ready for further measures' as he insisted ministers intend to stick to their localised approach of cracking down on infections.

But the Foreign Secretary admitted that both Germany and France had also used a strategy of local crackdowns before ultimately being forced into new nation shutdowns.

He would only go so far as saying the Government is 'striving to avoid' following the UK's European neighbours as he resisted imposing a 'blanket approach or a blunt approach'.

Will these central planners ever consider our God given immune systems and what is needed to keep them healthy? Vitamin D3 and zinc is a minimum and IMO could go a long way toward making this “pandemic” nearly irrelevant.

It won’t work. It will wreck the economy. It will mean a higher death count overall.

What’s the death rate?

By my calculations: on April 21 of this year there were 26,841 cases and 2,742 deaths, for a death rate among cases of 10.2 percent. Yesterday there were 91,530 cases and 1,047 deaths, for a death rate among cases of 1.1 percent. So the fatality rate has gone down tenfold even as the number of cases has increased more than threefold.

The number of cases, by itself, is meaningless. It's only in the context of the death rate that a clearer picture of what's happening is presented.

Birmingham. That is a heavily Muslim populated area.

In that context the death rate is being suppressed, which was my point behind the question. In cases where the death rate is not being suppressed it is being inflated by inclusion of cases where Covid-19 has a peripheral or marginal roll in the outcome. Pushing a narrative.

They’re downplaying the death rate in order to give the appearance (to the uninformed, which is more than half the population) of a looming crisis.

David Icke will be one of many speakers at a Rally in Birmingham tomorrow. He will be addressing the Covid scam and shutdowns/lockdowns in general.

An example of David be advised there is an ad that precedes the video:
