Had the number of new cases been doubling every seven days, the UK would have been reporting closer to 12,500 cases a day by this time

If current rates of confirmed Covid-19 infections continue, the UK is on course for around 11,000 new cases a day by mid-October - a fraction of a projection made by the Government's chief scientists last week, Telegraph analysis has found.

They knew they were downright lying with those projections. It was pure Goebbels, to forewarn Boris' ridiculous sanctions. Their 'get out clause' for when cases didnt rise like this was always going to be 'it wasn't a prediction', or 'look at the success of the measures'. Comical

How is Russia going....

Because it's bullshit!

You missed additional lockdown measures out of your tweet

But they didn't, so you are not.

One day you report UK is in danger of facing second wave. The next report says it may not be that dangerous! I feel eventually you're confusing people. By a layman knowledge it can be understood in winter with flue COVID can be more dangerous- so we need to take some prevention

Wasn't the warning that 'if we did nothing' cases will double every week? There have in fact been some tightened measures since that time; they might have had some impact?

MORE DEATH=MORE PATRIOTISM!!

They follow the technology...'Alexa give me a random number'

WHO CARES!!!!!

The only virus we have in this country is the FAKE NEWS PANDEMIC of compliant traitors

Remember when boris talks of defeating the virus , we have not managed to defeat the flu virus and that's with vaccines

Had the useless Tory 'government' produced a testing system fit for purpose, that figure (and more) would have been reported.
