That's 50,000 families. Do you want to tell those families they are grieving for someone to present a statistic to scare the public?

And if it is the case that numbers are being used falsely,what's the reason behind that? What does anyone have to gain from presenting numbers in that way?

I find it hard to believe even Boris and his chums would intentionally mislead the public just for shiggles.

You could almost make a case for misrepresentation to scare the public into following the advice given around the virus,but 50k probably works as well as 100k, so again,if it is all lies,who gains from those lies?
You have obviously not read my previous post where I posted the total number of people who had died solely from Covid-19 in NHS Tayside hospitals between 20th February 2020 to 20th December 2020 inclusive as a result of a Freedom of Information request and the answer.
