Will gulliver put this down to Brexit and a lack of HGV drivers as well as food shortages ?

[Gromit]

No alarm bells in UK despite our figures being considerably worse than Germany.

That probably means it’s coming here.
That’s what usually happens

Did you know that Dublin(prompted by Brussels) is currently setting up border checks(remember the no hard border dogma) on goods fro NI to Eire. Guess what they are going to pretend to be looking for? Solid fuels that are detrimental to air quality in the diminishing peat bogs. Honest.

There are alarm bells in Germany because of their low vaccination rate. There is no comparison with what's going on in the UK.

How strange ... The Telegraph doesn't blame it on a virus. Looks like the msm is going out of sync.

do we?
are we? - - - filling the ITUs with dying unvacca'd olds?

lots of covid, not lots of death and not lots in olds

[jno]

there were 29,000 new cases in Germany yesterday and 33,000 in Britain. Deaths: Germany 188, UK 262.

Whatever they're doing, they're doing it better.

That's probably because (hopefully) the UK government has finally realised that the virus is here to stay and can only be endured rather than "controlled."

Germany are ringing alarm bell when Daily deaths are 150 (250 here) and cases are 35,000 (50,000 here).

Germany 95,000 total deaths, UK 140,000 + .

Worst in Europe. But His Boriship wanders around hospitals and International Conferences maskless and oblivious.

With all this ‘they’re worst, we’re worst’, I wonder who’s still only practising with an abacus? I’d hazard a guess it’s not us.

[ToraToraTora]

UK no of cases has been falling for over 3 weeks, hospitalisations for a week, deaths are peaking now.

[ToraToraTora]

gromit: "Germany are ringing alarm bell when Daily deaths are 150 (250 here) and cases are 35,000 (50,000 here). " - yesterday, cases 39k, deaths 214, still don't let the facts stop your anti British spin.

[New Judge]

//Daily deaths are 150 (250 here)//

The last time the seven day average of daily deaths was 250 or more was 6th March. It is currently 165, having seemingly peaked during the current wave at 171 last Friday. If you're going to pick a single day try last Monday, when it was 57 or the Monday before when it was 40.

I agree with newjudge!!

NJ retires for a large brandy and a lie down!!!! :-)

the UK government has finally realised that the virus is here to stay

is this the covid=flu man? I think we should be told....

for the average Abers ( just about all) who credit - we are the worst:they are the worst,
they dont need an abacus - more a brain transplant ( shared of course)

if you have an ordered set can you have two at the bottom?
well I suppose if BOTH have had 101 deaths then they can both be worst..... unlikely in this um real world scenario
