Interestingly ,the UK yesterday passed the milestone for over 150,000 covid -19 deaths.That ,of course, is a record high in Europe.A high price has been paid for HMG's (unofficial) herd immunity policy.
At some point though, the rest of Europe will have to come out of the other side of lockdowns, restrictions and all that brings. It’s just kicking the can further down the road. For what it’s worth I agree the UK got it wrong, possibly, in 2020 by not locking down sooner and harder but now? We have the vaccines, treatments, we know far more about the virus ..we can’t protect the population any more than we have ..Interestingly ,the UK yesterday passed the milestone for over 150,000 covid -19 deaths.That ,of course, is a record high in Europe.A high price has been paid for HMG's (unofficial) herd immunity policy.

Wales/Scotland chose to ban crowds at football but has that made any difference??

No restrictions at football in Spain?Actually neither Spain nor France are in lockdown at present though there are certainly restrictions (which won't stop me from watching Espanyol tomorrow night)
75% attendance maximum+you have to wear masks in the stadium.No restrictions at football in Spain?

Asides that each country has its own criteria for calculating numbers of Covid-related death….Interestingly ,the UK yesterday passed the milestone for over 150,000 covid -19 deaths.That ,of course, is a record high in Europe.A high price has been paid for HMG's (unofficial) herd immunity policy.
Yes, I know a couple of doctors in Italy that insist the correct death details are set down, by that if they have a cancer or heart patient die who has the covid they put the MAIN cause of death forward, the cancer etc, not the hastening covid.Asides that each country has its own criteria for calculating numbers of Covid-related death….
The number in the UK is based on people reporting testing postive for covid in the 28 days before their death.The figures I've quoted are official figures which were widely quoted in the media.Aside from being the country in Europe with the most deaths (and remember Germany has a greater population,while France's is roughly similar) the UK ranks as the country in the world with the 4th highest death tol for covidl-the countries above them all have much greater populations.Asides that each country has its own criteria for calculating numbers of Covid-related death….

To be honest with you, most Euro Countries have had poor death rates, Italy have 140k and have a smaller population to the UK. Then you take 2nd and 3rd World Countries who don't have the facilities to report or even treat Covid numbers.The number in the UK is based on people reporting testing postive for covid in the 28 days before their death.The figures I've quoted are official figures which were widely quoted in the media.Aside from being the country in Europe with the most deaths (and remember Germany has a greater population,while France's is roughly similar) the UK ranks as the country in the world with the 4th highest death tol for covidl-the countries above them all have much greater populations.

It's impossible to get correct states on every Countries deaths, so many differerent health care systems and in some cases none at all.
Out of all the Countries (1st World) I'd question America's deaths, massive Country yet a small population compared to the size, yet nearly a million.
Agreed.But the UK is still number 1 for covid-19 deaths as announced in the msm.
As one example, it was known relatively early on that Germany were calculating numbers of deaths in a different manner to the UK……so there is no way of comparing like with like on said stats…..The number in the UK is based on people reporting testing postive for covid in the 28 days before their death.The figures I've quoted are official figures which were widely quoted in the media.Aside from being the country in Europe with the most deaths (and remember Germany has a greater population,while France's is roughly similar) the UK ranks as the country in the world with the 4th highest death tol for covidl-the countries above them all have much greater populations.
You still appear to be denying what was widely anounced in the British media the other day that the landmark figure of 150,000 covid-19 deaths in the UK is a record for Europe.As one example, it was known relatively early on that Germany were calculating numbers of deaths in a different manner to the UK……so there is no way of comparing like with like on said stats…..
The manner in which the UK counts it's Covid fatalities is open to scrutiny as it has yet to be proven that all those deaths were as a result of Covid or just a convenient statistical exercise. However, taking that argument further would become political so lets not go there.The number in the UK is based on people reporting testing postive for covid in the 28 days before their death.The figures I've quoted are official figures which were widely quoted in the media.Aside from being the country in Europe with the most deaths (and remember Germany has a greater population,while France's is roughly similar) the UK ranks as the country in the world with the 4th highest death tol for covidl-the countries above them all have much greater populations.

Also reported in the MSM but not as often. One Third of of all positives are false. So that figure is down to 100,000.......If you rely on one set of stats.
