    Today's lies from Sturgeon

    Real numbers without Scottish government spin.

    We've been 9 months now and Sturgeon has just announced totals so far.

    Positive tests = 75,000
    Deaths of people tested positive within last 28 days and dying of any cause = 3,000

    We've been 9 months so I've assumed constant rates and extrapolated figures to what we could see after a year.

    Population of Scotland = 5,5000,000
    12 month projection of total positive cases = 100,000
    12 month projection of total deaths = 4% of positive tests
    12 month projection of total deaths = 0.073% of total population

    A truly lethal virus indeed, it kills a completely insignificant number of people. If you consider that within that number there will be a percentage that have died of completely unrelated causes due to the ridiculous 28 day positive rule then it looks worse for the politicians who have almost wrecked the economy and who have deliberately restricted our liberties. Can't wait for the next elections

    Without revealing your vote i'm genuinely interested in what the alternative is politically? The main parties all seem to be doing/saying the same thing?

    I just think that once this is over people will waken up and realise that the whole thing was blown out of proportion by governments because they listened to worst case scenario predictions from scientists with (possibly) vested interests in sales of a future vaccine.

    Once they do governments will possibly see their support melt a bit.

    I don’t doubt by people are fed up, but I see little difference in approach with the main parties so what is the alternative for voters?

    Same as there ever was. None really.

    And that’s why it’s difficult, there’s near zero alternative.

    Are you vying for the David Icke Covidiot award now?

    No, I'd have no chance against the sheep that take every word they hear in the MSM as gospel.
