It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. One good reason not to rush into taking this vaccine.

..I'm not keen at all re the vaccine...coronavirus cases seem to be going up..but death rates going down....

Farview, death rates have reduced, due to better treatments being available, such as donor antibodies. Also, a vast number of the most vulnerable died during the first wave.

Cases appear to be up (by comparison) because there was less testing (only hospital cases) back then. The infection rate was far higher - but unrecorded.

Therefore, it appears to be less deadly, but the figures just aren't comparable.

Not true

It all depends on what is meant by ‘cases’ and what is meant by ‘death rates’

Everywhere you look there is examples of this government lining its pockets at our expense.

It isn’t a small amount either it is billions.
