221 perfectly healthy people from between the ages of 20 and 49 from February 2020 to December 2021 died from Covid alone

as the doctor who spoke to Javid said, he’s sure there has been some but he personally hasn’t seen a young healthy person die from Covid

makes sense to me as no young healthy sports stars or celebrities have died from it that I know of but thousands of them have had it, you’d think this deadly virus causing a world wide pandemic that effects all people might have seen a few of them off

just lucky I guess

How do you define perfectly healthy? I'd argue that there are less "perfectly healthy" people in this country than those who aren't. Whichever way you cut it, Covid has prematurely ended the lives of so many people who would've otherwise lived for plenty more years regardless of any underlying health conditions they may or may not have had. A mate of my cousin was in his 50s, fit as a fiddle as he did a lot of hiking up and down mountains, yet died of Covid about 12 months ago.

It’s not being brushed off. It’s being looked at globally and with cold eyes is of minimal impact to the human race. It wont even appear as a blip on a graph showing human population growth. That’s a fact you may not like, but it’s a fact.

This is the last time I engage with you Karen. You got insulting to me very early on during Covid, dismissing my worry about the mental impacts to my kids as unimportant. I won’t resort to your level of insult when trying to have a reasoned argument. See ya

Posters who’ve been playing it down for the best part of two years were eventually going to be right I suppose..
I’m sure in their heads they feel vindicated for their views but let’s be honest, for the majority of the time they’ve been in La la land and had the world just cracked on without restrictions it’d be in a fucking critical condition about now.

It’s all or nothing for many. It has killed well over 100,000 that wouldn’t have died at the time otherwise, is the biggest and most serious pandemic since Spanish flu, we needed to lockdown at times and we needed the vaccines desperately and it has affected people at all age groups and even the young and healthy.

But now the vaccines have done their job, the virus is weakening itself against serious illness and we are right to move out of restrictions.

No doubt the time is finally here to move away from restrictions and hope that the vaccines and greater understanding of the situation will mean minimum damage to both human life and economic recovery.
That’s coming from somebody who just had a proper shitty week with it after being lucky enough to avoid it since the beginning.
I’m just not overly keen on the posters who’ve played it down from day one suddenly thinking they’ve called it right all along.
Have they fuck, and thankfully they were nowhere near any decision making or we’d be all fucked now.

It’s also pretty convenient to make little comments here and there about the vaccines when the vaccine programme is the reason I can see my children without a high risk of death.

Oh once they’re in, they’re all in.
I dread to think how much worse this last week might have been had I not been vaxxed.

When you use specific figures around a vague term like healthy people it doesn’t really mean much.

You wouldn’t happen to know the figure for healthy kids under the age of 18 would you?
 
330 deaths

107,364 cases

Both down week to week and day to day

The cases only just.

Seems to have flatenned off. But at least it is not rising.
 
England hospital admissions, patients and ventilators all fall today again.

Admissions (for Tuesday - always 48 hours behind this data) 1794 V 2127 last week

Patients 15,302 today - down 440 - last Thursday the fall was 165 - to 16,716 - so a week to week fall today of 1414

The week to week fall has been increasing daily.

Ventilators down 13 to 573 - lowest since 21 July.

More detail will be on the other thread.
