So the Spanish and Italians have Monetarist policies
Explain how testing reduces a death rate ? It may reduce spread but then the major means of reducing spread is to reduce social contact .
no i would conclude the lower death rate is due possibly to the better provision of ventilators and possibly the lack of post mortems then they could of course attribute death to different causes instead of covid 19-- respiratory failure -- heart failure or an multiple reasons other than covid 19 . eg many years ago my mother died of pneumonia which was a result of having cancer thus those who had an existing aliment before acquiring covid 19 maybe recorded as dying from the existing ailment rather than covid 19.
All that glitters is not gold.
Every Government is to some extent is massaging it's figures for a variety of reasons.
This isn’t massaging, this deliberately lying to make their decisions seem slightly less horrifically stupid.
OK So if we take the UK model re ‘Massaging’ (Lies) and apply it to the German CoVid death number of 3000, we could roughly double that to 6000 CoVid Deaths.
The UK has around 20000 deaths which unless you’re Stalin, is a massive difference given both the UK and Germany both fall into the category of Developed Countries.
Germany followed the WHO advise and tested. Boris’s buffoons didn’t and still aren’t testing at anything like the numbers needed. Not only did Germany test, they followed up those tests, identified and tested everyone who’d been in contact with any person who tested positive for CoVid19 and those are then isolated. That slows the spread considerably. As proven .
They also have enough Doctors, Nurses, Hospital Beds, Equipment and supplies of PPE. That stain Hancock tried to explain all that away by spouting garbage about a Germany’s huge pharmaceuticals industry helping with testing, when in fact over 30% of the testing kits were produced in a small independent company and other independents contributed the majority of the rest. Another Government Lie.
My Wife works for the NHS on the front line and up until today, she has been supplied with 17 face masks. Face masks which she is told to change between visiting each client.
A major NHS hospital in Glasgow, was sent boxes much needed PPE, with new expiry date stickers dated November 2020. The stickers had been put on to cover up the original expiry date of 2016.
Because of the lack of ventilators in UK hospitals, triage doctors have to decide who they won’t even attempt to save. If you get a white armband put onto your wrist, it’s likely you won’t need another season ticket for Spanners.
I personally know several front line NHS nurses who don’t have PPE and they are already near breaking point.
Don’t talk shyte about mistakes being made and nobody doing things entirely the right way. The UK Government ignored warnings and advise. They cut the NHS to the bone...fact. They lie to us on a daily basis and yet morons still hang onto their lies and rhetoric because those morons can’t face the simple truth that their Government cares more about lining their own and the pockets of their mates, than they do about the lives of Doctors, Nurses, Teachers and Careworkers. Not to mention the pensioners and the working population who sweat helps build the fat cats wealth.
If you don’t believe testing works, then explain why the UK Government are now busting a gut (too late) to get up to speed on testing?
Do you know more than your Government’s science experts?
