Sir Desmond Swayne: “Flu has been killing more than Covid recently“

Conservative MP Sir Desmond Swayne says lockdowns do not work: “The number of deaths is similar to what you’d expect in a moderate-to-bad flu season... indeed flu has been killing more than Covid recently“. Desmond also says vulnerable people should be allowed to assess their own risk if they want to see family on Christmas Day: “It’s not for ministers to tell us how many we can have at the table“.
