Sage scientists have admitted their dire predictions of soaring Covid hospitalisations have ‘not been seen’ – as it was revealed that almost two-thirds of London patients with the virus were admitted for another reason.

It came as one university professor warned of Britons becoming unhealthily ‘obsessed’ with case numbers.
Among 2,962 people in hospital beds in the capital who were confirmed to have Covid on January 18, 60 per cent were primarily admitted for a separate, unrelated problem.

As recently as December 23, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) warned that, based on modelling, hospitalisations could peak at between 3,000 and 10,000 a day
In the East Midlands, just 533 (29 per cent) of the 1,817 people included in coronavirus hospital data were being treated primarily for the virus.

Martin comments: Michael Plank, Rod Jackson and other NZ fearmongering academics (and the media that acommodates them) take note.

I’m amazed and pleased to see British news outlets not bleating government propaganda and fearporn for a change.
