Today deaths reported within 28 days of a positive test reached 534, the highest daily figure since February 2021.

Does anyone believe the figures ? In the last week 3 of the published 4 deaths from my town were from over 12 months ago, and on 2nd Feb 2022 from the 12 deaths published in my town only 2 of these occured in 2022.

Today they announced 4 deaths in Stockport but cumulative figures only increased by 3 . They deducted 1 death from 9/12/2020 .

This is approximately twice what I was paying OTC in Portugal before Christmas.

Good old rip-off Britain!
