Reuters can not do any fact check as they are part of corrupted system, so I personally wouldn't trust them a single word.
The very comment that they make supports our case! That is something that we can use. It is better to disarm an opponent than to offer them a target to attack.
You speak more like a politician.
But still relying on someone elses words it's like sticking your hand into crocodiles mouth just because they say it's safe to do so.
Regardless of what Reuters say or which side they tip to it's not wise to rely on what they say, just because they say it. But of course it is a personal choice. If you want to stick your hand there because someone said so, it's your choice.
What I said is that these days is much better and wiser to do the research yourself and make your own conclusion rather than relying on someone else doing this for you. This is why most of British people are lazy - and these are not my words, but words of my customers - British people. Waiting for things to change without trying to help to change it, waiting for someone to turn up to their doorstep and suddenly they will get enlightened and they will know everything what they missed or waiting for a saviour instead of participating in saving the situation. Most of British people just have a big mouth, but when time for action comes, they bend their tail between their legs and run off.
I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I do believe in media agendas and in government over-reactions to panics.
Do you believe in conspiracy facts? In other words: that conspiracies have been perceived?
Apart from the derogatory use of the phrase "conspiracy theory" which attempts to discredit a conspiracy postulate, a conspiracy theory is a set of logical descriptive statements of, or pertaining to, a conspiracy.
Also, can anyone associated with mass media not be complicit in the dissemination of misinformation and/or disinformation (the production of propaganda)?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Hanlon’s Razor
This, I realise, is virtually the motto of Lockdown Sceptics and one of the reasons I’m sceptical about conspiracy theories.

This presupposes that stupid people aren't capable of forming conspiracies.
Some are obviously capable of taking what is intended to be a joke (e.g., Hanlon's Razor) seriously.

I no longer subscribe to the Times, but I still get their Coronarivus newletter by e-mail every day and that includes the deaths. Alternatively, check https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/deaths for the official figures.
I checked your link out and sure enough on 14th Sept the number was down to 1.
