Today sees a headline which goes 'US passes ‘unimaginable’ milestone of 500,000 Covid-19 deaths', a rather smaller number pro-rata than our own, given that they have getting on for five times as many people. One day, I hope to see some explanation of our position in the chart above. We may now be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but we do deserve to be told why the tunnel was so long and expensive. So long and expensive that it turns the overrunning Crossrail tunnels into rounding errors.
