LolMaybe it's time to consider an alternative to the left's wet dream of "free at the point of delivery" (like they do in our European neighbours).
... we might as well just give up on the founding principles of it.... if we start treating the NHS like an insurance product ...
Alternatively 10g alcohol/day for women & 20g alcohol/day for men, type of drink doesn't particularly matter. However the main information is about beer and the recommendation is 2pints/day for men & 1 for women.

Give it up, that's not what people need now, and it is not what they will want 'going forward'.
It already is an insurance, it's just not a product, it's more an act of collective will.
The right hates 'collectivism', we get it.
Doesn't mean they're, erm, 'right', thou, does it?
Sweden deaths 2586 cases 21092
United Kingdom deaths 26771 cases 171253
Whether you go by raw numbers or per capita Sweden has achieved a better outcome than the UK. The UK is also suffering from excess deaths not directly caused from contracting covid as demonstrated by ons figures if these were included the UK figures would be even higher.
As I've said, best not get hung up on the figures themselves; it's the trends etc wots important.The whole statistical scenario of this situation is completely questionable. Talk about lies, utter lies and statistics. It's almost a joke, except it's not funny.
Belgium is apparently counting all suspected deaths from Covid, along with the definite ones.The country that surprises me is Belgium - over double the number of deaths per 1m population of its neighbour The Netherlands, and well above Italy, Spain, France and the UK.
Of course, it's difficult to know what's being counted, but anyway ....
Thanks. Maybe it's not so "difficult to know what's being counted" after all.Belgium is apparently counting all suspected deaths from Covid, along with the definite ones.

I live in holmcroft, and judging by the increase in local activity over the last few days I can see another wave coming.The stats published above may look shocking but let's keep them in prospective.
So take holmcroft as an example with 5 deaths that's 0.07%
Stafford as a whole it's 31 deaths or 0.02%
Unfortunately it's fair to say that these figures may increase as we have passed the peak but transmission continues.
