ED CONWAY OF SKY NEWS TRIES TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU WITH ONS DATA

Look at this by Ed Conway of Sky News:

Here is the story of today's @ONS mortality statistics in a single chart. The worst week for UK mortality (all causes) since records began.
The blue area shows the minimum and maximum mortality each week since 2010.

That red line for this year looks terrifying, doesn't it?

At first it does.

But look at the scale on the left hand side.

4000 more deaths, ie 25%, across England and Wales (including London), and that's with a dearth of PPE, ventilators, possibly inaccurate or infected testing kits, etc. There are 40 parliamentary constituencies in Wales, and 533 in England, so across both countries there are 573 parliamentary constituencies. So 4000/573 = approx 7 more deaths per parliamentary constituency above the average.

That's all.

SEVEN!!

SEVEN MORE DEATHS PER PARLIAMENTARY CONSITUENCY!!

And the UK is in lockdown, millions losing their jobs, the UK plunging into more debt, cops searching your shopping, the government tracking you everywhere you go, and all so that we wait and wait and wait until Bill Gates gets his deadly gunge and microchip ready to inject into us?!

THIS. IS. ABSOLUTELY. RIDICULOUS!
