The ONS figures are probably more accurate than most:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey, UK: 8 October 2021
Estimates for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. This survey is being delivered in partnership with the University of Oxford, University of Manchester, Public Health England and Wellcome Trust. This study is jointly led by the ONS and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) working with the University of Oxford and Lighthouse laboratory to collect and test samples.
In England, the percentage of people testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) increased in the week ending 2 October 2021 to an estimated 786,300 people (95% credible interval: 737,600 to 835,300), equating to around 1 in 70 people.
In Wales, the trend in the percentage of people testing positive was uncertain in the week ending 2 October 2021; we estimate that 56,900 people in Wales had COVID-19 (95% credible interval: 45,700 to 69,300), equating to around 1 in 55 people.
In Northern Ireland, the percentage of people testing positive decreased in the week ending 2 October 2021; we estimate that 14,500 people in Northern Ireland had COVID-19 (95% credible interval: 9,300 to 20,900), equating to around 1 in 130 people.
In Scotland, the percentage of people testing positive decreased in the week ending 2 October 2021; we estimate that 84,900 people in Scotland had COVID-19, (95% credible interval: 70,200 to 101,100) equating to around 1 in 60 people.
He certainly wasn’t thanks in part to his lies people voted Brexit and economic catastrophe he a self seeking liar and will go down in history as such .
There are too many variables to make realistic comparisons, not least of which is the methodology leading to statistics.
You just can’t take the number of deaths as being accurate and that influences comparisons.
For example (figures taken from worldometers.com) look at the huge difference in deaths between The Netherlands and Belgium which are two neighbouring lowland countries:
Belgium has recorded a mortality rate of 2205 deaths per million population versus The Netherlands’ 1060 deaths per million.
Logically there is absolutely no reasonable explanation as to why a neighbouring country with similar demographics should see half the number of fatalities as their neighbour.
None.
Accurate comparisons are in effect useless because the statistics are being measured differently by each country.
Was giving their inept business friends multi billion pound contracts a mistake? The results may have been abysmal for the voting public, but was it ever about saving the lives of those who vote & doing something effective, or was it about a multi billion slush fund for friends & family?
Lets be honest Serco was part of this & would any sane person give a company with the past reputation of Serco a contract if it was about doing something properly? As Serco has failed so many times on goverment contracts that their reputation speaks for its self. As does the fact that despite repeated fails, they still keep being given contracts & have Rupert Soames as their Group Chief Executive Officer. And Soames has numerous Tory party links, from his brother, to his Grandfather.
Grubby money, for grubby friends, from grubby politicians.
@Omah l love your humour Omah,( brief details indeed !)
Unfortunately all wasted on me because you ignored the
primary cause of the spread of the viru, which l explained to
you in my earlier post ??
You are not the only one to ignore these facts as world leaders
are all complicit in implementing the release of the virus into
the broader environment from China ??ALL OF THEM !!
No one person can be blamed, especially as they were being
advised by scientists and also were subjected to willfull
disobedience by the populace which contributed greatly to
the spreading of the virus ?? So in fact you could say that the
high number of cases was self inflicted !!
Donkeyman !
