To put another perspective - I live in a medium size county town with a population of ~ 70k. Similar in size to Twickenham.
Compared to the national UK population the town represents ~0.1% (1/1000).
90k total deaths would averagely result in 90 deaths locally with C19 in the last 10 months - 2 a week. This is a trivial number - although family and friends may understandably be distressed.
Politicians know how to present information to communicate a particular message. The use of a Twickenham image resonates with you - but as I have no interest in rugby, it is just a west London suburb I occassionally drive through.
