Yeah, the stats are crap. Had to laugh when they added 'non-hospital' deaths to the UK count, which means care homes are included. Care homes being where elderly people go to die.
And the 8 people at work who've been off with symptoms? Not a test between them. It's OK though because my part of the country doesn't have many cases. I guess we don't have many high density population areas so could be accurate.
Is the high death rate supposed to scare the intellectually challenged in to staying home, or at least keeping apart in public? It doesn't, at least among the people I know/see.
