For those interested in objective reports on controversial health events, the Forum report in the Irish Examiner on Saturday, July 4 is the best I have read on the sad omni-shambles that has characterised the Johnson regimes response to Covid-19. Johns Hopkins Bulletin Board reports 44,476 deaths by June 7 which is 655 deaths per million. There were 1,742 deaths (358 per million) in Ireland to the same date. The idea that the NHS in the UK is superior to the HSE here does not withstand objective scrutiny. I have called out in the printed media all the state organs for manifest failures but the propaganda and groupthink trumps analytical thought.
