It is perplexing to me that the UK still has almost the number of deaths per capita that the US does, while having about 20x fewer cases per capita, despite doing 50% more per capita tests.
It’s been like that for several weeks. They have a CFR of 17%! How is that possible?
It’s because the UK’s testing statistics are lies. They have been doing this thing where they post tests to people to swab themselves and send the results back. Except that two thirds of those tests never actually come back, the ones that do come back are hugely inaccurate as people can’t really swab themselves properly, but despite this the UK has been claiming that they’ve « done » a test from the moment they post it out to the patient.
It’s such a blatant fiction that they’ve had to stop reporting test numbers.
In other words, no matter how badly Trump is managing things, Boris Johnson is hot on his heels for incompetence
The Tories have been criminally negligent in their response to the crisis. But like in the US, 42% of the population are too thick to notice.
