The government only give the covid-19 deaths and no others because they would reveal that the true picture and they want to be alarmist.
The government’s lock down and other policies are a failure with the UK being in the top five countries for numbers of deaths.
The UK has some of the worst restrictions on society and business yet is one of the worst performers in dealing with covid-19.
Sweden, which has minimal restrictions, has a death rate per million of 86, compared to the UK’s 132.
Belarus, which has virtually no social restrictions, has a death rate of 2 per million.
Five countries, including the UK, account for approximately 73%% of the world’s deaths associated with covid-19.
Fifteen countries account for approximately 93% of the world’s deaths associated with covid-19.
The remaining countries in the world account for just approximately 7% of the world’s covid-19 associated deaths.

There are many factors involved with this coronavirus.

One factor, the countries which have rolled out 5G, are those with the most deaths,(being varied as to the other policies they pursued).
5G antennae is claimed to emit radiation waves which weaken the immune system, something the UK government refused to properly investigate.
Even now, the government is considering those rolling out 5G in the country as essential workers !

There are of course many other factors where the government has got it wrong.
One very factor was the blanket whole population approach, instead of targeting the vulnerable and putting resources into cocooning them with extra love, care and compassion.
This has still not happened, but only belatedly in a not very effective way.
Another factor was not to tighten up on who was travelling into the UK and to to institute proper quarantining and testing procedures at the beginning.
The government actually took part in a virus prevention exercise in 2016, but ignored all the recommendations about preparedness, which is why the UK was so unprepared.

The only recommendation they took up was police state laws restricting the ability to work and to carry on with normal daily lives.Those they implemented without delay and they pretended that had to because British citizens were allegedly not co-operating in exercising safe distancing proposals, when the fact the vast majority had been. It was a government exaggeration.
This is why the draconian laws were brought in so quickly. They were the one thing that the government had prepared !

A few months ago there was a global conference on being prepared for a virus very similar to covid-19. The government were aware of this, so even though the predicted scenario had been laid out, the government did nothing about being prepared.

The government brought in its lockdown ( or lock up) Britain proposals without thinking of the many economic, social and health consequences. It is indeed surprising to learn that they are only now doing this. If they had done it in the first place they would have seen the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages, and not lept too quickly into adopting that nonsensical lockdown the economy and society policy.

Sadly the mainstream media is not doing its job properly in calling the government to account. Nor are the opposition parties. Both have let the nation down because they have enabled the government to operate without effective scrutiny.

It is clearly well overdue for the government to change its policy ( and other countries as well ), to admit they made some disastrous mistakes and to END THE BUSINESS AND SOCIAL LOCKDOWN without delay.
Time also to investigate where this Sars- Cov-2 – Covid-19 virus came from, man made or what, and see if any global group or country is responsible for causing this crisis.

Individual Perspective

New restrictions on dog owners imposed

Britain’s dog owners have been informed about new guidelines for walking dogs.

They have been advised to ensure that their dogs only go for walks with their paws protected .

The concern is that dogs could pick up the virus and bring it into homes where they could pass it on to vulnerable adults or indeed other animals, such as cats, who could also spread it.

They have therefore been told to put new dog booties on their pets.

Dog owners, already having to face fines if they are caught infringing the strict rules on dog walking, such as only once a day for 30 minutes maximum and observing the two metres safe distancing rules, are concerned as to how they can comply.

These dog booties, they say, are very rare, and dogs currently only wear them if they have some medical condition or if they are recovering from a foot injury, and on vet advice.

Dogs wearing dog shoes, or booties, are almost unheard of.

The government has tried to calm such concerns by saying that five million of these booties have been ordered from a supplier in China, as their factories are operating normally, and that they will arrive in the UK in days.

Asked why no UK manufacturer had been asked to produce them, the government said that the manufacturers concerned were shut down as footwear production was deemed non -essential. However, in view of the circumstances, this was being reviewed, but they pointed out that the procedure for changing new regulations was much slower than that for bringing them in.

As long as dog owners have registered via the government’s website for their dog’s booties, there will be no £100 fine penalty imposed for infringing the rules. A government certificate of proof of order should be carried when out dog walking, to show to police when asked why their dogs are infringing the regulations.

The dog booties are available in all sizes and the dog owners’ associations have expressed concerns that the government may not have ordered the correct quantities to cover each breed of dog. They say they were not consulted and it is very likely the mix of sizes for each breed will be wrong.

The government have said that they simply ordered them in different sizes and did not take breed into account. There is also great anger at how low the government order for booties is, as they said there are actually 9.9 million dogs in the UK, and the government should really have checked their facts first. These issues, a government spokeperson said, were just teething problems, and the system would smooth itself out with time. As long as dog owners had their bootie certificates, they would not be fined.

Organisations for the vulnerable and elderly have expressed concerns about the many dog owners who do not use the internet. How would they get a dog bootie certificate? The government has advised that these can now be available from vet practices and their new NHS volunteer Army would assist in all of this.

Asked if the NHS volunteers would be distracted from other roles in the fight against the coronavirus, the government said that would not be the case as dog booties were a number one priority in the efforts to curb transmission of the disease.

In response to outrage that the dog botties cost £60 a set, £15 per bootie, a government spokesman said that people were forgetting that there were four feet to be provided for, whereas humans in comparison just had two.

Dog owners have asked about those dog owners who cannot afford £60, because some had two dogs or more. For many it was a time of financial hardship, they said, and the cost of these dog booties were difficult for many to fund. They said the government seemed to have forgotten that 26% of the population own a dog and a huge number of people were affected by these dogonian measures.

The government responded by saying that they did not have a dog in the manger attitude, that they recognised the importance of this issue, and those who could not afford the costs could apply for a government grant in the same way they applied for other grants during this time of national crisis.

Cats affected too

Cat owners’ associations have protested that dogs are being put before their cats, who they insisted should be treated equally. They maintain that cats can spread diseases much more than dogs and were almost impossible to stop roaming without putting them in lockdown too. They insisted that there were more cats than dogs, 10.9 million of them in the UK, and if anything, the cats should be put first, even though there were slightly less cat owners in the country at 24% of the population.

The government responded by saying that everything which needed to be done to stop the spread of the virus would be done. They said, their theme of “ we are all in this together” applied to dogs as well now, and would then be applied to cats, and indeed other animals.

The government spokesperson said that the same Chinese manufacturer had indicated a willingness to supply cat booties, or puss-in-boots, and a government order for millions of them was likely to be imminent.

Questioned as to whether these protectionary measures were going just a little too far, the government said that all precautions had to be taken while research was still being undertaken into how much dogs and other animals were affected, whether they could be carriers, and other factors.

The government said that they hoped all these measures may just be temporary, maybe just for six months, but if there was a need they would be extended even further, in fact they could end up being permanent as the risks this virus present to the UK may never go away.

Animal owners have insisted that will not allow animal rights to be neglected now or in the future. They said that household pet owners represented 12 million of the UK’s population, with 51 million pets in total, and could not be ignored.
