You know nothing about how they came to their conclusions and you would be unqualified to asses it if you did. Your opinion against the experts is worthless. Its founded on your own starting bias.

The appeal to authority argument is weak. Any expert should be able to withstand scrutiny, if they can't then they might not be as clever as you think they are.

England and Regional hospital data not as good for NW today.

Up 391 patients in last 24 hours in England to 9213 - was 6823 last week.

Ventilators up 15 to 815 - was 631 last week.
 
I think it was in the economist. Yes, here you go


It's from quite early in the pandemic, may be more up to date info now.

Cheers.

I saw back in September that the average age of death from covid was 81 for males and 85 for females.

In which case, based on ONS Life Tables the average number of years of lost life due to Covid would be around 8 years for males and 7 years for females

Scrutiny from whom? unqualified posters on a football forum? or their peers? because the overwhelming majority of their peers agree with them. This is a pandemic not something trivial. Misinformation and lies are dangerous. I can't believe that some find that controversial. If it was in it's own "alternative theories" thread i wouldn't even bring it up but it's in a thread where a lot of people will get their info from, sadly.

With these type of stats, do we ever get to learn when after the test they died, and whether their death was due to another issue? I know that if you die 28 days after a positive test, it is automatically attributed to Covid. It's very murky waters IMO, especially when you look at the age groups involved.
 
We are totally fucked with knobheads like this around...
BBC News - Bristol illegal rave attended by 700 people
Another one with 300 as well, just seen on the news, It is not kids though ...if they are staying at uni they need policing to stop parties
 
1 suicide of say a 25 year old due to this is worse than a 90 odd year old due to COVID imo.
Why stop at they've had their life so what if they die? What about a couple of uncles who smoke 40 a day, Oh well its their own fault that they are vulnerable. Then there's the youngster that doesn't know they are vulnerable, probably wouldn't have lasted long anyway. If you could have bothered to do the maths for every one suicide there are 200 Covid deaths and not every suicide is a young person.
 
Regional hospital data:

London up 17 to 857 (was 641 last week) Ventilators Down 2 to 131 (was 97 last wk)

MIdlands up 56 to 1858 (was 1280 last wk) Ventilators up 4 to 197 (was 140 last wk)

North East/Yorks up 118 to 2374 (was 1685 last wk) Ventilators up 2 to 150 (was 113 last wk)

But North West, after several good days, up 160 in day to 2660 and much closer to the peak patients it had in April during first wave at 2890. Was 2192 last week.

Ventilators - though - continue the better news this week up just 1 to 211. Was 203 last week. Smallest rise in the regions. Still well off the 350 top number here in April wave.
