It is quite important especially when you have self proclaimed Covid experts on social media and this yellowboard stating figures as facts.
It's pretty clear to the sober readers of this BB that some countries tell blatant lies such as the Chinese.
Unfortunately to reduce the workload of others, many in the UK have died with Covid (but not because of Covid) who have been added on to the list of those poor buggers did actually die of Covid.
So without stating the bleedin' obvious we are not comparing apples with apples in many cases.
All we do know is that we are now #1 when it comes to the long term solution and that is a majority vaccination. And for that even you extremist doom mongering Labour, Liberal and tree hugging Greens Bremoaners need to thank Boris, the Conservative Government and his medical advisers. Time for eating a spot of humble pie I would suggest.
