Also, I don't think it is helpful when our chief science and medical officers go on national television and wilfully misrepresent the facts. The number of cases aren't doubling every seven days, that is demonstrably untrue. Even if you were to say, well ok let's look at France and Spain, this is what it could do. France's cases seem to be doubling every three weeks and Spain's figures, don't appear to be even rising anymore having got nowhere near 35,000 cases per day (pro rata the 50,000 suggested for the UK when adjusted for population size.)

No wonder they didn't take any questions.
Even Sky News are starting to question the information, so perhaps we will move in the right direction, even if not quite yet.

The graph was used by Ed Conway.
Sir Patrick - let's look what is happening in Europe.
He then only considered France and Spain, the two worst cases. No mention of Italy, Germany, Sweden...
He then went on to present the graph of doom.

It was apolitcal advisors dripping in politics in my opinion.

Andrew Neil is on their case.

BBC are starting to probe.

Reasons for optimism.
