Scaremongering b!*&+$s.

"Around 1 in 100 people not in care homes, hospitals or other institutional settings in England would test positive for #COVID19 (at any given time between 17-23 Oct)"

"During the most recent week, we estimate there were around 51,900 new #COVID19 infections per day in England"

So this is just for England, not the whole of the UK, and it excludes people in care homes, hospitals, and other institutional settings (and it relates to 17 to 23 October).

"For England, the incidence rate continues to increase; during the most recent week (17 to 23 October 2020), we estimate there were around 9.52 new COVID-19 infections for every 10,000 people per day (95% credible interval: 7.06 to 14.53) in the community population in England, equating to around 51,900 new cases per day (95% credible interval: 38,500 to 79,200)."

See how they use phrases such as "credible interval" just to fool people into thinking that they might know what they're talking about. It's all a plot just to get Vallance off the hook. 51,900 for England is suspiciously close to Vallance's 50,000 for the UK. Coincidence? Yeah, right.

Oh, yes, and apparently the rolling 7-day average of Covid-19 deaths is now 229.71. What utter nonsense. How can you possibly have 0.71 of a person? It's obviously just a made-up number, designed to heighten the fear among the public.
