I’ve read articles that claims the virus was here well before Christmas . If that’s the case then the virus has already done all it’s damage long before we even knew it was here. It went on to say that a large section of the population could have already had it and just passed it off as a cold. If all these people were taken into account the death percentage rate would be a lot lower because at the moment its standing at 14%. If it stays that way it would indicate that 8 million of us are going to die from this virus

Neil Ferguson has previous in relation to being a bit sh*t in his estimations.
During the Swine Flu outbreak in 2009 he predicted 65,000 deaths in the UK and advised schools and businesses be shut down until a vaccine was produced. Reality was only 500 deaths occurred. Even Matt Hancock was questioned about Ferguson's predictions on the Today programme last month.

If Shagger Ferguson had such a poor predictive track record it begs the question why the Tories were using him as an advisor but then set him up and ditched him.

Because both he and the other so called expert, Chris Whitty, are both funded by Matt Hancock's best bud - Bill Gates.
Now you know why the mandatory vaccine option is continually being pushed.

So - let me get this clear - the reason mandatory vaccination is being pushed is not because it has proven efficacious at protecting entire populations from horrible viruses for years - but because the organisation he worked for once got some money from Bill Gates' foundation. Got it.

You may want to do a quick search on Bill Gates and his polio vaccines in India and Africa. Doesn't make great reading.
Tie this into how he virtually runs the WHO with his funding and his goal to depopularise the world and it's quite frightening how he has such an influence.

Same here, I had a really sh*t cough that I've never experienced the like of before for roughly three weeks. My missus caught it afterwards and had it for around six weeks and ended up on antibiotics to get rid of it. We both had flu jabs a week or so before I got this as well.

Please tell me more about his goal to depopularise the world, because honestly that sounds like the sort of bollocks that Thor comes up with....

It's probably wrong, but was a reasonable estimate at the time.

How would we know. The Tories have been spinning the numbers.

0.04% of the UK's population of 66 million have died from Covid 19.

Can anyone illustrate what this figure actually looks like in real terms ?

I'd like to see a visual graphic. What is 0.04% of 66 million. It must be minute.

Isn't it about 30,000 people? Like a really big football stadium full ? Is that the sort of visualisation you mean?

How far would they stretch if placed in a long line? Roughly 6 Mt Everests.

I think it would help if we could have it explained to us how big that number is relative to the size of Wales.
