Don't know where u got that graph. Everywhere else says peak was 8/4. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/19/over-1000-deaths-day-uk-ministers-accused-downplaying-covid-19-peak … also, since it was an especially weak flu season, surely that also feeds into my point that CV does not remain an existential threat? Cos it took out those who might have died from flu

..... I had it.
My lung capacity is still compromised. If you think those that were going to die have now died then you are just guessing at shit.2 antwoorden 0 retweets 0 vind-ik-leuks -
The graph names its source.

Overall death rates or excess death rates are obviously a better indicator than covid figures generated by an inept / cynical government response to covid.

Also to fit the data inside a smaller rectangle covid death rates appear to peak at the same as average flu rates.. They are actually higher. Plus they would have been much higher without the lock down.

They would've been much lower if we hadn't sent infected patients into care homes; buildings full of the exact demographic always most at risk of flu like symtoms. That was mass murder. An absolute scandal. It inflated stats & made CV look more powerful than it is.

Ummmm... Yes that was criminally negligent. But you still want to use figures under lock down to assume we didn't need a lock down. Social distancing, masks, mass temperature checking, blood tests, quarantine is the alternative to extended lock down. Our government refused

Yes, all of this. And having a properly resourced, fully operational track/test/trace/enforced isolate process. That and starting lockdown (or whatever combination of stuff) two weeks earlier would have meant many fewer deaths, and a shorter timespan for the pandemic in the UK.

ONS data shows only 5.4% of people have already had COVID - symptomatic or asymptomatic - so people saying its past it’s worst now are talking nonsense. Even with shielding and our focus on quarantine / social distancing we’ve had 65,000 deaths on an infection rate of 5.4%

Als antwoord op @KevinPascoe @nigib1 en
So only another 1.2 million potential deaths then.
