Ross, re the ‘dodgy stats’.
I was referring to the stats as reported by the msm, not actually produced by them. ( they obviously originate from the Govt., or medical services etc. )
However, as an example, take the cases that have been listed as having died FROM the virus instead of WITH the virus which are two completely different things of course. ( If you had underlying heart problems but also had the flu and subsequently suffered a cardiac arrest then I would suggest that the death certificate would be unlikely to show ‘influenza’ as the cause of one’s demise. )
Then we have the omission in the death count of people in care homes or dying at home?
You probably know that I’m a great lover of the ‘Guardian’

and which only last month reported the following:-
“But local hospitals and public health experts are playing down the statistics. “The figures are misleading and alarming. People look at them and think, ‘Oh gosh, we’re all going to get it’ and ‘Sheffield is a high-risk area’, but that’s not true,” said Dr Andrew Lee, a reader of global public health at Sheffield University and executive director of primary care and population health at NHS Vale of York clinical commissioning group.“
