[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes you are right about the figures being before the surge.
I am still of the opinion that there has not been a sensible perspective.
There are more than 60 million people in this country, so the current figures are a very small percentage of the population.
We DO NOT KNOW what the true figures are because you can only accurately determine the size of the problem if community testing is carried out to see who actually has the infection.

So whatever the figures are, they are meaningless because there is no accuracy in them.

I do not dispute that this is a serious situation, but I do think we need to use our brains when interpreting what we are being told.
The way this has been handled is as big a worry as the infection is.
UK PLC is shut....and that is detrimental to everyone.
