This insanity is endless...

More FAKE NEWS from one of our resident FAKE NEWS merchants.

Here is the recent UK 7 day rolling average of "Deaths within 28 days of positive test by date of death", taken from the GOV.UK website.

Oct 27th...262.6
Oct 28th...272.9
Oct 29th...279.9
Oct 30th...282.0
Oct 31st...284.6
Nov 1st....277.0

The figures are rising, of course they are, the number of deaths from respiratory infections rises every autumn and into winter. On the latest figures, the rate of increase, far from being rapid, seems to have stalled. No doubt the rate will soon rise steadily again, but if the above is a rapid increase, then I'm a fecking pineapple.

Fake news?

Below is the Gov.uk data for the last 7 days (updated today)

It shows that there were 2246 deaths in the last 7 days (up 588 from last week).

The 7 day rolling average is 321. That is using YOUR source, Gov.uk.

For some reason you quoted the figures up to November 1st. I wonder why.....?

I demand a public apology
