People still share/believe this rubbish

A simple bit of maths tells you that's total bollocks, if we say people started dying from 1 jan that would be 260 days giving you 3648 deaths a day everyday. But people believe this shit.

Depends how you count it. If flu is a contributing factor the numbers are a lot higher. Covid deaths are counted when covid is a contributing factor. Over 1k a week at the minute with flu as a contributing factor check the ONS stats.

My stats are from Public Health England and are accurate.

Ridiculous that over 1000 are dying a week from flu in the UK no way is it that little globally.

I’m not sure what little globally means or where you got your science degree from ? Please enlighten me on both and what your doctorate was in ? I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours and lots of people know me on here so I can’t really bullshit ;-)

Average deaths from flu in England each year is 17000. In 6 months of Covid we have over 40000 and still going up.

Let’s see if he gets back to me ;-)

That's from the ONS, can't trust anyone with these stats.

That's the original article and the chart is from one the first Excel link.

I'm not claiming to have diagnosed them, just quoting ONS stats that have widely been reported in the media recently. The links are in the post above.

The point was to prove that original image was bollocks, which we all agree on surely.

“The country’s testing chief has admitted that she did not anticipate such a large rise in demand when children returned to school”


I know it’s all very serious but I’ve been re-reading and laughing at this for a good 45 minutes now.

You really think that’s the point, really ? Fuck me throw a dog a bone and he thinks he knows the universe, I’m sure your happy/frightened but please don’t try and pretend you understand, I’ll disengage with you, I’d hoped for more, but I’m frequently disappointed.

The shear ineptitude of this is astonishing. She's called Dido,was appointed by the government and had to stand on a box to see over the lecturn at the briefings and didn't realise we might need extra testing once reopening started. Not fit for purpose

Italy seems to be faring considerably better than both Spain and France.
