Hiding behind construed tenses. Clever.
The claim was that
All the evidence is that when politicians get optimistic and lift the restrictions cases then hospital admissions and then deaths soar - Sweden, Chile & the UK all show this
When politicians opened up, deaths etc soared. That happened in lots of places in 2020. The claim was NOT that deaths etc are soarING in the UK NOW.
And it’s even more indefensible as you”ve only just started opening up some non essential shops (so no time yet to soar like last time) AND you’ve got an enviable vaccine policy. It’s unlikely to go batsh!t again in the UK.
