Paul Leivers, from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, admitted two counts of assaulting an emergency worker."

I commend them. If the local cops bust me for walking deserted county roads AT NIGHT, they're going to have to support it in court. This isn't a martial law situation. There's nothing wrong with people getting out and walking in remote areas with few to no other people around. Bottle people up for months like THAT and they'll get a real display of law breaking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.A.T.1961 Posted March 31, 2020 #516 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Total number of fatalities is higher as new statistics count cases outside hospitals. The discrepancy between the official figures is because the ONS data include deaths that occurred outside hospitals, including in homes and care homes, which take at least five days to be officially registered. An ONS spokesperson said the figures are “based on mentions of Covid-19 on death certificates. It includes suspected cases of Covid-19 where someone has not been tested positive for Covid-19.” Prior to the release of the ONS figures, the only death rate figures available have been the daily count from UK hospitals of patients who have tested positive. https://www.theweek.co.uk/coronavirus/106435/why-coronavirus-deaths-are-set-to-spike-in-the-uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
