COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[True_Blue69]

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.

Mate, you've posted on an internet forum more than 36k times in 8 years, rather than bragging about a science degree online I suggest you get some friends and get out of the house more.

That is utter bollocks, 56 is wrong ,more die in America alone by a long way, every day

56 every day would equate to 20000 in a full calendar year, so that’s a hopeless miscalculation.

I'm amazed anyone can get to 56+ and not have some underlying health condition? Is being overweight counted?

They might have both been over 90, which is a huge underlying health condition for this virus.

yeah they won’t have worked out to meet at 7pm instead of 8pm.

Vast majority of my nights out were direct from work.

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.

The stats shown in your link combine deaths from flu and Pneumonia not just flu. Pneumonia deaths arise from a multitude of health problems:- asthma, cystic fibrosis, an assortment of lung diseases including infections and bronchitis just to name a few. Pneumonia is not flu and is generally a more serious health issue. As I stated the Public Health England figures for flu are an average of 17000 pa and that includes the winter months which so far we have no Covid stats for as the disease was still in its 'infancy' until March and the months of May/June were exceptionally warm.

I’m not trying to underplay Covid by any means but the following are worldwide year to date deaths from other things, just by way of comparison.

9,277,227 Communicable disease deaths
349,156 Seasonal flu deaths
5,432,001 Deaths of children under 5
220,886 Deaths of mothers during birth
1,201,351 Deaths caused by HIV/AIDS
5,869,266 Deaths caused by cancer
700,976 Deaths caused by malaria
3,572,499 Deaths caused by smoking
1,787,376 Deaths caused by alcohol
766,340 Suicides
964,000 road fatalities.
Meanwhile, 11,000,000 people die from hunger every year.

Fair enough mate was just quoting what was reported in the press. I’ve seen the average stats and was surprised myself. My Mum got pneumonia from flu believe it or not and her lungs are permanently fucked from it.
