Two weeks ago the study from Imperial College estimated 500,000 UK citizens would die from COVID-19, setting the stage for our current economically destructive policies. As of today the new estimate is less than 20,000 deaths, a reduction of more than 95%:

I think you’ll find that Boris and his band were planning to simply let the virus run riot and were working on the herd immunity concept. After that initial study and number came out, they collectively sh!t themselves and decided to fall in line with the rest of the world, thus the U.K. is on lockdown and the new number.

Bet hey, let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good story. And yes, I watch BBC 1 and BBC News every day.
