Government outlines biggest risk factors for COVID-19 in UK

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the biggest risk factors for coronavirus are age, gender, living in a city and being black or from a minority ethnic background.

In the daily coronavirus briefing, he said the government is determined to “get to the bottom of this” and “find ways of closing the gap”.

Referring to COVID-19’s disproportionate impact on BAME people, he said: “People are angry about racial injustice and I get that. Black lives matter.”

The number of deaths in care homes are down.

That’s because the number of care home residents are dropping. Because they’ve died!!

So good to see the comments realising this is just a big con, i recommend watching the talks by Dr Vernon Coleman and not these bunch of liars.

I want to know where that they got 'Social Distancing' from because if I cough the germs will travel for more that 2 meters so it is actually pointless

The only time they mourn a death is when it was a tax paying worker.

Why can’t everyone on this wonderful earth just say human lives matter, because all of us are more then what our eyes see.
