Fifty deaths a day equates to something like a thousand every three weeks - for me, if it is ever appropriate to “celebrate” COVID victims, it’s when the number is into single figures a day.
No one is celebrating the deaths though are they? They're celebrating the fact that despite the world still being in trouble we seem to be for once moving in the right direction and at pace.

There aren't many people who hate this government more than me and they've been ****ing useless at times throughout this and deserve to be held to account for some of the more scandelous things they've done.

But surely there has to be a point when we say other than a few outliers most countries have done terribley at this. And although a lot can be put at the feet of the government I think we need to consider that there are other things that have contributed to us having such a high number of deaths.
