    I think they should have banned both christmas and new years eve gatherings as they are ***** and you're forced to make an effort with people that you're watching the clock to get away from. Best just to give you time off work without the obligations in my opinion.

    You've got a strange idea of "aggressive" or "annoyed" and we all regularly "pick holes" in what each other say on here - you included. You just don't like being disagreed with.

    Millions of single use plastic to tell a lot of people who don't feel ill that they are ill, at a time when Boris more than any PM ever is trying to push us to be green.

    Perfectly fine being disagreed with. Happens all the time on here and I’ve repeated in many a post how enlightening it can be done in the right way.

    Again though, interesting what you choose to reply to and comment on. I can only comment on how your posts come across - which is the same as what you’ve been doing to me, no?

    I joked earlier in the week that DB3K would try to extrapolate incomplete holiday data. Now you've actually done it. Quoting average daily deaths when the figures are all over the place because of the Christmas holiday? A new low in your attempts to downplay the situation. 332 deaths have just been reported in the last 24 hours. I'm not as disingenuous to claim this is anything other than the figures catching up though.

    Couple of things here; I replied to someone who used the same data (but I think I used UK not just England). Also, I compared to similar figures last year where the data lagged to ensure it was at least realistic and valid.

    Nothing disingenuous as I’m not arguing the data isn’t lagging.

    How many hospital deaths were there for the same 24 hour period in 2019 - that's the real comparison as to how bad things are now.

    These didn't happen in the last 24 hours, they've been spread over Christmas and gone unreported until today. You've missed the point. Look at what I was replying to. They don't need to be compared.

    Sorry if I've misinterpreted it. My point is still valid though, how many deaths are there now compared to the same period in 2019? If the numbers are similar, all the fuss about "pressure on the NHS" is a red herring to cover chronic underfunding.
