So if you're a privatised water company you can pump raw sewage into rivers and nobody does anything about it, but if you're a private citizen you can get fined for pouring coffee down a drain.

Please make it make sense.

Worth noting that of that 拢7 bn that covid costs, only 拢0.8 bn of it is the cost to the NHS. The remaining 拢6.2 bn is the cost to the wider economy.

And the cost to the wider economy is completely ignored in the government's cost effectiveness modelling.

Utterly bonkers.

"COVID-19 could cost UK 拢7 billion a year without autumn vaccinations"

Tell me again how we can't vaccinate people under 75 because "it's not cost effective"?

Fun fact 1: most people under the age of 53 haven't had a covid booster since 2021

Fun fact 2: the duration of useful immunity from covid vaccines is a few months
