[Margaret Pilkington]

The media are saying that there has been a rise in the numbers of infections, but yet there has been a fall in the death rate and few intensive care beds are occupied by seriously ill Covid patients.

Anyone with half an ounce of common sense would see that the more tests that are done, the more results will be obtained...and counting a result as positive if the patient is not suffering symptoms is a manipulation of statistics.
Every patient who is going to hospital for treatment or for investigations has been asked to go for a test before they will be seen...if this proves positive, then any treatment or investigation will be put on hold.
I know two such patients personally...one with a disfiguring basal cell carcinoma of the face and the other with potential bowel cancer and needing a colonoscopy...both have had their treatments/investigations put on hold because of positive tests, though neither have any symptoms...no cough, no temperature, no sore throat, no loss of taste or sense of smell....ZERO symptoms.
So does this mean that the tests are contaminated...or just unreliable.

What this government is doing is what terrorists do to hostages......they are cruel, they remove freedoms and then give a little bit back, then remove yet more freedoms.
It can be seen as an instrument of torture.

Lord Jonathan Sumption a retired senior judge has said that this is all illegal and that the 1984 act that has been invoked to bring in these measures, does not support(legally) what is being done.
