While we cannot rely on the Covid statistics that are being provided, still, new numbers for cases and deaths in military servicemembers were released yesterday that are worth a mention.
Total cumulative diagnosed cases in active and reserve servicemembers “nears 59,000.” Yet only nine servicemembers have died: 3 National Guard, 5 Reservists and 1 on active duty. Is the military using effective treatments? I couldn’t find out online; does anyone know?
Hospitalizations: 755. Only 1.3% required hospitalization.
The “mortality rate among military personnel is currently 0.017%” or less than one death per 6000 diagnosed cases.

Statistics watchdog scolds Number 10 for lack of transparency over Covid-19 data used to justify second lockdown
- The UK Statistics Authority slammed the use of unsupported data
- It warned of public trust falling apart if statistics are not used properly
- It comes amid accusations the Government used dodgy data for the lockdown
- A graph showed 4,000 deaths per day in December if no action was taken
- But the model has since been shown to be out of date and inaccurate
Sir Patrick Vallance, No10’s Chief Scientific Adviser, suggested there could be a shocking 4,000 deaths per day by December 20 if nothing was done using a now-infamous graph. The scenario was based on the assumption that there would be 1,000 per day by the start of November. Real numbers of people dying are significantly lower
