No problem Dekka, it does worry me when we get people jump on a statement and call it 'utter bullshit', absolute bullshit' and 'confirmed bollox' without supporting that view. Don't get me wrong, it might be utter bollox but if I was making that statement I would try and support that with some data / facts / statement rather than just shout it down.
This thread has been useful to try and just look at stats and try not to drive an agenda. I personally want all restrictions gone, I have paid for my ST because i'm looking forward to being in a crowd in August and I want to go on holiday, but all of that means fuck all at the moment if the trend of numbers in hospital continues to grow.
Absolutely agree bb, we really need a lot more clarity on the data especially at such a crucial point in time. The government say we can be treated like adults and want us to be responsible, if that's so give us the data and let us decide.

There is the potential for quite a big difference in the numbers if they are including everyone as a Covid case.
