Have you any evidence to support this claim ? I'd be interested to see it if you have.

You don't know that, neither does anyone else. Hindsight is wishful thinking.

So you don't believe people have died?

As I live in Spain and spend a lot of time keeping up to speed with the UK, not least on here, this is my view.

At the beginning of the UK lockdown it looked for the first 3 weeks that the UK had every chance of keeping the numbers lower than Spain and Italy.

That they haven't would at least demand some searching questions

I'm confused by this question?

I'm asking for evidence to back up his statement. The ONS have said we won't know, for sometime to come and when all the data is collected, will we have an idea to the real figures.
It's a bit like giving us the league at xmas with over half the season to go. If it wasn't so serious.

I don't think they are suggesting the death toll might come down. The NHS can work miracles but they are not THAT good.

The day Boris said that people will lose loved ones earlier than expected and looked like he had just seen a ghost or his alimony bill was when I kind of knew that we were fucked.

Chippy Boy has just posted that he does not particularly blame anyone but then explains some of the events very well which could lead you to exactly who is to blame.

He will correct us if wrong no doubt but for me the govt are being pointed at more and I agree

The uk has never locked down at any point to the extent some other countries did.

the public still say the police were being too heavy handed, no way we’d obey a tougher lockdown - would replicate the scenes we saw at the governors houses in America

29,400 deaths recorded as of today in the UK as a result of Coronavirus. Nobody can know how many of those died needlessly at present. Probably not for a very long time either. I think your question says a great deal about you btw.

The public shouldn’t be trusted to tie their shoe laces.

Problem being there isn't a one size fits when it comes to numbers.
