150,000 UK Covid Deaths

In January 2021, the UK became the first European country to pass 100,000 deaths and today after adding another 313 to the grim toll, the UK have noe also become the first country in Europe to pass 150,000 Covid deaths since the start of the pandemic.
Britain is now the seventh country to pass the milestone after the US, Brazil, India, Russia, Mexico and Peru.
The Governments figures could even be an underestimate as separate figures published by the Office for National Statistics show there have been 174,000 deaths registered in the UK where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate.
Britain is registering an average of 150,000 new cases every day and Scientists are predict the the peak for infections will come in 1-2 weeks around time with the peak for hospitalisations a week after that and peak deaths towards the end of January another week on.
Boris Johnson has tweeted on the milestone death toll, saying: Coronavirus has taken a terrible toll on our country and each and every one of those deaths is a profound loss to the families, friends and communities affected and my thoughts and condolences are with them'.
Amazingly his thoughts and condolences don't stretch to actually doing anything about it as the Government are still not making any move towards making any further restrictions and are actually making plans for 'living with Covid' which includes stopping giving out free lateral flow tests and urging people back into offices.
Professor Andrew Hayward, who advises the British government as part of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), said the statistic was 'absolutely tragic' and 'I think we could have done better'. You think??
