What is the timeframe?
Plus you'd think it would be 'Care Facilities Deaths from COVID'!

What does the y axis represent numerically? Are you saying the UK has only had just over 200 or 2000 care home deaths?

1. Y axis is %
2. Full report 'surveillance of covid-19 at long term care facilities in the EU/EEA' 19 May. Google and read PDF download.

Think your graph is broken. Fairly confident the overall German death toll across all settings is less than UK care homes

Graph does NOT show overall deaths. Dur!

Rather meaningless and random stat unless you factor in population numbers, percentage of population in care facilities, etc. And pretty sure any of us could come up with a graph that shows UK top of the table if we were selective about our comparators. But carry on duping.

They do have an appropriate expression over the the channel. It's 'il ne dit que les conneries'.

Captain, why bother to keep giving us all these statistics when we all know how pointless they considering the result all depends on the agenda.
Maybe your agenda is to divert our attention from the government's seemingly inadequate handling of the situation in the past and somewhat confusing handling now.

No, B, it's just a badly dubbed bootleg copy; the real carry on, with subtitles, is being repeated by the BBC every evening from 1630.

We really don't need any help from the EU in that regard right now.

What happened to the 'lorry parks before you get to Kent' idea then? Oh, perhaps it was never going to work really. (And yes, I know Southend is in Essex.)

And just wait until those whose have been furloughed realise they are actually redundant.
On the plus side a few ga-ga grannies spent a few months extra on the planet not being visited by their children.

I suspect a few ga-ga grandfathers have also survived,
or should that be
This ga-ga great-grandmother took great pleasure in seeing her junior members of the family last Saturday.
What I did see was my grandson's pregnant wife (a bio-chemist at WHH) had lost quite a lot of weight even with her bump, she put it down to stress of the job as she had not dieted.

IF we'd locked down two weeks earlier (Idiots citing Cheltenham/Liverpool football) then parks would have been full a fortnight back and we'd be heading for second epidemic.
Time will tell which country played this best.
And this is from those idiots at The Telegraph (that well known left wing organ).

The second wave everyone keeps banging on about will not be coronavirus but will be our health service creaking under the strain of those who have managed to survive without their scheduled procedures or clinics and those suffering mental health issues as a result of "lockdown" and/or finding out their job no longer exists and they are going to have to survive on UC/JSA

Well, I won't say anything about Dominic Cummings (who after all does have a tough job listening to SAGE advice) other than that it solves the old mystery of which came first, the chicken or the egghead.

Very droll.
