Kaz - just watching the Government presentation.
The actual figure for Covid deaths at 8 May is 41,020, approx 10k higher than the Government's reported daily figure on that day (8 May) which only includes those who tested positive.
On that basis the actual figure as at today's date is approx 45k.
'ckin Ada.
Never realised the death figures were that high.

Eustice’s Pick For Britain website doesn’t work.
LOL!

Who are these experts? Only seen the cancer specialist fella Sikora say that, and even then he said it was just a hunch.

Ah, captain happy? I love reading his overly optimistic claptrap. God forbid he tried giving people a dose of evidence based reality.

Reference two please.

Professor Karol Sikora, an oncologist and chief medical officer at Rutherford Health is the one that springs to mind. Other than that just search it and find out for yourself.

Most saying there will be though. Didn't out experts say they think we can avoid it?

She's quite curt, isn't she? Haven't seen her before. Doubt she'll be making any friends in the media.

These scientists are very close to telling us to fuck off. Each day they sound more and more irate.

Cant imagine they’re happy being questioned like this on a daily basis.

Two fucking idiots talking rubbish,turn off.

I never bother watching them, I just wait for the @karen7 summary.

Jesus.
This presser is an absolute disaster for the Government.
Dame Angela can't or won't answer questions on testing, schools opening etc.
Car crash.

I think it's quite good. As someone else pointed out, the scientists seem to be getting increasingly fed up with questions from the media.

Why? There's plenty of evidence based facts out there, if that's all you're looking for and nothing more. If he chooses to see the light in certain situations, so be it. If he's helping people's mental health in doing so then even better. He's never ignored the scale of what's actually happening but has chosen to look for positive sides where they exist, it's not a bad thing.
