I am sharing 'statistics' with you

There's a difference in number of deaths from the NHS to the worldometer because the NHS stats are hospital deaths only, the other deaths are from nursing homes, so more in the 80+ category (approx. 75,000). If there was ever a category that clearly needed protecting?!

ONLY 30 PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 19 HAVE DIED FROM THIS!

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/save-our-foi/?utm_source=ws&utm_medium=db&utm_campaign=dm&utm_term=foi&utm_content=20201126stickybanner The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act is one of our most important laws.

It’s helped journalists break major stories on secret political lobbying, plans for NHS reform – and much more.

Without it, the MPs’ expenses scandal would never have come to light, and our taxes would still be paying for duck houses and moat cleaning. But now, just when we need it to scrutinise the COVID response, it’s being fatally undermined.

The UK government is running a secretive unit inside Michael Gove’s Cabinet Office that’s been accused of ‘blacklisting’ journalists and blocking the release of ‘sensitive’ information. Experts say they’re breaking the law – and it’s an assault on our right to know what our government is doing.

We’re not going to let it stand. We’re launching a legal battle – but we also need a huge public outcry, showing that thousands back our call for transparency.

This isn't a zero covid agenda, although it reads very similarly... No, this is zero carbon. This is the real end game

Taoiseach Micheál Martin appeared to tell pub and restaurant owners yesterday that most of their businesses would remain shut until a majority of Irish people are vaccinated.
But is that a realistic, or sustainable position?
