We Are Luck to Have The NHS.

Looking at the Covid death toll today made me think how lucky we are to a marvelous institution as the National Health Service.
The last time we had a worldwide pandemic was in 1918 with Spanish Flu. The death toll in Great Britain was 228000 against a population of 34000000. It was 0.671% of the population.
Today the death toll is 105571 against a population of 66790800 and is 0.158% of the population. Even if the final death toll is 250000 it will still be 0.374% of the population.
To reach 0.671%of the population the death toll will be 448166 deaths.
It is testament to the NHS that our death toll is relatively low. This does not remove us from doing our part in keeping the death toll low. We still need to social distance, were our masks when in shops and shopping centres or when social distancing is difficult.
Keep Following The Rules even if those in power do not.
