Jumping the gun. Again

Two days ago, I suggested here that Johnson might have been a tad premature in announcing that the "Kent" varient had a higher mortality rate.

I said that because, well, I don't trust a thing Johnson says.

Anyway, the scientists on whose work Johnson based that statement on, was "surprised" as in his own mind the data was not yet conclusive or clear.

Well.

Johnson uses such things to ram through tougher restriction through under pressure to do the opposite from the CRG, which is the ERG just renamed but with as little research in viruses as they did the EU.

But that is where Johnson is right now, battling a pandemic and his own backbenchers, just with the nation's health at stake.

1,348 death announced yesterday, but hospitalisations have just started a downward direction, and positive cases have been heading down since peaking on 11th January. Deaths will soon start to follow, but not before passing 100,000 deaths, which is beyond shameful. The money wasted on failed track and trace and PPE procurement means something like £50 BILLION has been spent, most of it wasted.

The money given to Did Harding is the same as spending £1,000 a day since stonehenge was built, every day.

That much.

So many nirses, doctors, hospitals could have been employed/built for that £32 billion.

And still we have the highest per capita death rate in the world, and our economy has taken the biggest hit, and will take the longest to recover. And now with added Brexit.
