Why not publish daily figures of people who are dying of cancer or heart disease then?

Plenty of data available on cancer and heart disease. Of course having 'live' data for both those conditions isn't as important as they aren't contagious and therefore don't need to be responded to in a similar way to covid.

Because boneheads like you would start complaining about why the number of people killed by something else wasn't published daily.

That is completely wrong. It is 543 deaths which have occurred over the past couple of years, not all yesterday.

"I've looked at the data myself" he says to someone who's made it their life work.

The other classic line was someone who shuns medicine generally because they 'know their own body'

What do these morons do if they have a problem with their car or their plumbing?
Do they ring a plumber or a mechanic or do they tweet Laurence Fox or James Melville for advice?

Why worry about people not getting the treatment they need and dying when you can instead withhold the funding required as leverage to try and trigger a leadership contest.

In news that probably won't surprise a lot of people from all that money raised by Captain Tom for the NHS they've made 4 grants of £40K each a total of £160K.

They've also spent £162,336 on 'management' including £126,424 on 'fundraising consultancy fees'.

In fairness this is from the Captain Tom Foundation, which is separate from the funds raised as a result of him lapping the garden.

That said, the £160k is from donations in excess of £1m so is not very good. I had a look at the accounts and the charitable aims are rather wishy washy.

I used to work for a company that dealt with a lot of charities and non-profits. Was a bit of an eye opener and made me a lot more careful about what I donate to.

Really interesting thread on what worked policy wise in the pandemic.


Nutshell is basically close to what @Evo1883 and others have said and I’d railed against which is: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Still, I’m a twat on a forum and not a government, but happy to hold my hands up here.

I don't think an ongoing legal obligation to self-isolate is reasonable for too much longer and agree that it should be dropped at some point in time. I'd probably wait until the spring though.
