There's no trend in these figures. It honestly feels like somebody throws the numbers up in the air at the start of the week and what get's announced each day is what number fell on that day
Lockdown clearly not working... cue extended lockdown 😒
Disband NPHET they only care about keep their own jobs. They'll say we're bold now and lock us down for another year!
Deaths from what? With covid without covid..stop manipulating the figures..
Bollox to this scaremongering every evening
4.9M population and country locked down for 17 deaths. Get NEPHD out. They are drama queens. Funded by GATES perhaps like SAGE is. After all NEPHED copied SAGE two days later🤷♀️
