Masks worn on flight except for meals and toilet. Why toilet? You can't brush teeth with airplane tap water.

Of course you believe it? No proof. Just a corrupt government's word.

It's the public service that collates the numbers. Not the government.

Scott's going to love this...
Data on Covid care home deaths kept secret 'to protect commercial interests'

Covid-19 death tolls at individual care homes are being kept secret by regulators in part to protect providers’ commercial interests before a possible second coronavirus surge, the Guardian can reveal.

England’s Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Care Inspectorate in Scotland are refusing to make public which homes or providers recorded the most fatalities amid fears it could undermine the UK’s care system, which relies on private operators.

In response to freedom of information requests, the regulators said they were worried that the supply of beds and standards of care could be threatened if customers left badly affected operators.

The CQC and Care Inspectorate share home-by-home data with their respective governments – but both refused to make it public.

Residents’ families attacked the policy, with one bereaved daughter describing it as “ridiculous” and another relative saying deaths data could indicate a home’s preparedness for future outbreaks.

“Commercial interest when people’s lives are at stake shouldn’t even be a factor,” said Shirin Koohyar, who lost her father in April after he tested positive for Covid at a west London care home. “The patient is the important one here, not the corporation.” ...

You can't tell the proles everything, they'd take it badly.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Even the antibody testing is in doubt:

Claims of 99% accuracy for UK Covid antibody test ‘cannot be trusted’
Leading scientist calls for findings of rapid finger pricktest research to be made public

Claims that a rapid Covid-19 antibody test the government hopes to roll out this year is more than 99% accurate cannot be trusted, says a leading expert, calling for the full trial data to be made public.

Jon Deeks, a professor of biostatistics and head of the test evaluation research group at the University of Birmingham, says the data published by Abingdon Health about the performance of its fingerprick antibody test were inadequate. The government hopes to roll out the test to millions of people.

Writing for the Guardian, Deeks calls for the company to publish its data in full in the interests of transparency. “Secrecy destroys trust. Restoring scientific credibility will require urgent publication of the protocols and reports for these studies.”
