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.

Well I do but they are not allowing me to validate their maths so I can't.

Agree. Police asking them to leave, they should have arrested them

How many suicides a day? Small compared with potential number of Covid deaths. Getting so pissed off with people trying to bend stats to fit their own position.

1 suicide of say a 25 year old due to this is worse than a 90 odd year old due to COVID imo.

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

Would most covid-19 victims have died soon, without the virus?

A new study suggests not

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.
