Looks like the normal number of winter flu deaths have reduced dramatically this time. Remarkably not one person has died from it this winter. Ain’t science wonderful?

Scientists unsure whether UK Covid variant is more deadly. They say "It's too soon to say"
Whereas our PM has said "Variant may be more deadly by 30%" How does he know this and who told him. The fact the great leader has quantified his statement using a measurable statistic suggests he knows his onions. However, he might be down playing the risks and it could be 300% more
deadly.
Now some people don't think the virus is very deadly at all. So for them, how worried would they be if something that's not remotely deadly in their opinion was then said to be 30% more deadly. Exactly
And that is where we find ourselves.
Project fear has to be kept on the boil.
“May be more deadly”. = “may not be more deadly” =. “We don’t know”.
But the first version sounds SO much more newsworthy doesn’t it?

Yep. Last week there was “ no evidence” it’s more deadly.
Now it “may” be.
Let’s have the glass half empty version shall we ?

Precisely.
And it’s been my point all along.
Nobody is saying COVID-19 isn’t a problem.
Lots are contributing to project fear by twisting a few words though.

True. But there are a lot of silly buggers, some of whom have been venting on here, who are quite happy to claim anyone who dares suggest the government is ramping up the scare stories is denying there is any problem.

I'm going for a run tomorrow without a mask, hope I don't run through any concentrated pockets of the virus and then kill someone's grandma I don't know.
