Another 468 COVID deaths in the last 24 hrs. The pace at which this is coming down is glacial. Worrying.
Dont worry, at least we can go to the beach Couple of weeks and lockdown will be tightened again |

These were infected 2 to 3 weeks ago, so year... big spike in a week or two's time. |

I read on here it was a right wing thing  Just because Jeremy Corbyn is left-wing doesn't mean his brother is. Johnson's siblings are all well to the left of him, indeed his brother Jo resigned from govt in protest at Johnson's Brexit bullshit. Piers Corbyn does seem to align with most of the right-wing conspiracy theories: climate change denial, anti-vaxxer, 5G, the whole nine yards. TBH I don't think he's especially political, just batshit nuts. |

That seems to be the way it's worked everywhere, or at least everywhere that failed to manage the initial outbreak properly, us, Italy, Spain, France, US. Steep climb, very slow descent. |

There's many examples like that.
Such as Peter Hitchens and Christopher Hitchens. Chalk and cheese.

Go far enough left or right and you go round in a circle.  |

Pace is slow, but hospital deaths are now below levels when lockdown begun. I’d expect total deaths to be near those levels about now or soon also |

Above was based on this chart. Blue bars are hospital deaths and definitely show those deaths are at pre-lockdown levels. Non-hospital deaths are the green bars, and my conclusion based on the lag of data and available bars shrinking

The lefties on here seem to be particularly self-righteous by attempting to suppress opposition and criticism. I do wonder how many of them were brainwashed into it by attending British higher education establishments. |

I would class myself as a "leftie" but I probably wouldn't use that term. I was radicalised at that well-know hotbed of socialism, Birmingham Polytechnic.

Yep, and at the arc where they meet, there's often a compromise to be made like calling themselves 'National Socialists' I deliberately chose the phrase "attempting to suppress opposition and criticism" as that is a definition I found about facism & Nazism. In my view it also described the attitudes of some posters on here who seem to lean to the left. Any dissent to their view is immediately jumped on. Whereas my attitude is "Come on in me old mate. Let's have a cup of tea and discuss it". |
