The whole county of Cornwall has seen Zero covid deaths in the last week. 0. Zero.

And 53 confirmed cases. In a week.

Out of 570,000 people. Who are still in Lockdown.
In fact the county has seen exactly 1 Covid death in the last 3 weeks. 1 death.

Out of half a million people.
In that same 3 weeks there will have been approx 230 deaths from other causes.

And 1 Covid death.

And they're still in Lockdown. For Covid.
And they have an over 60%+ antibody rate in the population, blocking transmission and serious illness, and concentrated in the otherwise vulnerable.
We have lost all sense of proportion in relation to risk.

I only hope it comes back soon.
