HART’s book reviewer turns to black humour:
Derek calls Yin at the national broadcaster again.
“We need to stop people questioning our lockdown policy… we will run a story comparing [this] to the Black Death. And release a daily stats bulletin exaggerating the number of people it has killed, using the questionable assumption that all deaths where the deceased tested positive for the virus within the past 30 days were indisputably caused by the virus. That should frighten people into compliance”.
“I’m not sure that’s wholly objective”, ponders Derek. “But I like it”.
