UK Covid deaths: Why the 100,000 toll is so bad

In some people's eyes, the UK's island status might have helped it. Other island nations such as New Zealand, Australia and Taiwan managed to stop the virus getting a foothold and deaths have been kept to a minimum - Australia has seen fewer deaths throughout the pandemic than the UK is recording every day on average.

By then, the virus was ripping through care homes. Around 30% of deaths in the first wave happened in care homes; 40% if you include care home residentsThe government seized on the relative lull to focus on building what the prime minister promised would be a "world-beating" test-and-trace system. The idea was that new outbreaks could be nipped in the bud, with comprehensive tracking by a centralised team of tracers.

Another decision that has been heavily criticised was the refusal of ministers to introduce a short two-week lockdown, or "circuit breaker", in September - despite their advisers on Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies recommending such a step. The argument was it would have set the spread of the virus back by at least a month, giving test and trace time to regroup.Wales, however, did introduce its own "fire-breaker" - a 17-day lockdown in October.

But even before that lockdown was lifted cases had started going up in the south-east of England. Within weeks it became clear what was happening. The virus had mutated and a new faster-spreading variant was on the rise.

Because they're psychopathic, murdering ghouls who are making money hand over fist by killing people. They don't care how many people they kill, as long as they are making money.

BBCNews our toll is so bad because the Conservatives government has not be proactive enough and have allowed policy failures like SercoTestAndTrace to run rife! Poverty through austerity is also coming home to roost with lower income families having a higher mortality rate

Is there any wonder why people want rid of the BBC. 100K deaths and you have to comment on why it’s a bad thing?

You couldn't help it, could you - you had to blame the same people you always seem to blame 😡
