What fresh horror is still to come? [View all]

BoJo by Cummings…

“the people who are dying are essentially all over 80.”

“I must say I have been slightly rocked by some of the data on Covid fatalities. The median age is 82 – 81 for men 85 for women. That is above life expectancy. So get Covid and live longer. Hardly anyone under 60 goes into hospital (4 per cent) and of those virtually all survive. And I no longer buy all this NHS overwhelmed stuff. Folks I think we may need to recalibrate.”

“There are max 3 m in this country aged over 80”

“it shows we don’t go for nationwide lockdown.”

I know Cummings is a complete prick but this is backed up with actual texts and Whats App messages. Seems like the let the bodies pile high in their thousands quote was mild in comparison to some of these revelations. Boris would have been content to kill off the entire population of over 80’s to keep the economy open. 3 million grannies and grandads had zero value attached to them by him. I suppose that is one way to solve the funding ciris for social care… let them all die… horrific. How much worse can it get? Hhhhmmmm
