Introduction Evidence has shown that Covid-19 is far from being “the biggest threat this country has faced in peacetime history”, although the statement may well be true of the government's draconian, disproportionate and often illogical responses to it. Many highly-qualified experts in medical and scientific fields would dispute the assertion that the government “is working to a scientifically led, step-by-step action plan for tackling the pandemic”, particularly as the government's handling of the disease remains based upon comprehensively discredited modelled outcomes produced by Prof. Neil Ferguson et al. Indeed, actual data shows that the pandemic has in fact ended as far as the UK and many other countries are concerned and that the “second wave” being threatened by the Minster for Health is extremely unlikely to happen1. The SARS-CoV2 virus has behaved similarly to other virus outbreaks and the patterns of spread and decline have been perfectly normal, with the overall outcome being on a par with a bad influenza season. One key difference though is that unlike influenza, SARS-CoV2 rarely causes serious illness to younger people without pre-existing health issues and should actually be easier to manage since vulnerable groups are more easily identified.

This is a bit awkward for the Government. The day after its new draconian "Rule of Six" regulations are introduced, the ONS reveals there were fewer deaths in the week ending September 4th.
