The other issue seems to be that at this time of year with flu and all the other ailments and possible extra reasons for being ill, its really hard to tell how much the death was solely due to Cofvid and how much was an unfortunate combination of causes. Back when I was much younger in city centres you had many more deaths during these months, a lot of it due to
the pea souper fogs we used to have.
Everything is relative. I don't think if Boris stood up and wanted a lock
down now, whether anyone would actually take any notice of him.
We take all the precautions we can get vaccinated etc, and we simply
cannot be locked down for ever after all as it will come back as Flu does
when we all get together again.

Yes, yesterday 195 people were *reported* to have died, that is different
from saying 195 people actually *died* yesterday, even disregarding the
skew of whatever late reporting happens.
Not to rake over old coals, but purely for interest, I've kept a daily eye
on the death count by date of death (not by date of reporting) for
Thursday the 11th, and it took until the 20th for the number to stop
rising having reached 143 deaths and hasn't risen for 3 days now, so
unlikely to creep higher.
So the grey columns showing 4 days of "incomplete" results are a bit optimistic.
