That was all based off bs Imperial College modelling, totally debunked now, and now obviously exaggerated.
It's probably too late, UK will soon be a totalitarian puppet.

For the time, they were the best we had. And unmitigated models always get criticised as being pessimistic, just by the nature of what they are. Have you any links to more credible unmitigated models?
We don't need models anymore, we have evidence.
I do have this, but don't have time to look into anything else, check it's veracity, got to go out to work.
This is, I know, a very contentious subject. But it has to be debated, there is seemimgly no debate amongst the mainstream media, which should be alarming. Best wishes to all.

I specifically asked about unmitigated modelling. Evidence from mitigated cases does not give us any indication of the unmitigated case, I'm afraid. Would we, for instance, have exhausted the UK's NHS if there had been no countermeasures?

I suspect Authoritarian regime would be a more realistic definition than Totalitarian.

Err and you can assess the accuracy how exactly?

Not an easy question to answer, but those cleverer than us will be able to extrapolate from known data and make some assessment. However flawed the scientific model is, it will be far more accurate than your early guesses though - based on nothing but your gut feel, iirc. In answer to your question though, I won't be able to assess the accuracy of either.

If you can highlight where I’ve used the word “relative”, I’d be obliged.

You say you wouldn't be able to assess the accuracy of either, how do you get to assess their relative accuracy without ..

Forgive me, you are saying that someone can make a better guess than me, I think.
Plus also assess retrospectively how accurate their guess was, given what they guessing about didn't happen(a non scaremongered reaction to covid)
Mmm making me smile, so thanks

Government forms policy on the basis of what will be popular.
Scientists are used to provide advice required to back up policy.
That's how government works now

We aren't there yet, I was being hyperbolic, but I am extremely concerned about what is going on, and having watched that video in the OP angry. I still think it's closer to Totalitarian than Authoritarian by this definition:
- While authoritarian regimes place all of the power into a single dictator or group, that power is only political.
- Within totalitarian regimes, the leadership controls nearly all aspects of the state from economical to political to social and cultural. Totalitarian regimes control science, education, art and private lives of residents to the degree of dictation proper morality. The reach of the government is limitless.
This video is worth watching, please just listen for a few minutes, it will break your fears over the virus and enlighten you all:
