COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Tim of the Oak]

Touche. Very true. I was meaning the stereotype which tends to be portrayed on here. Young, students, teenagers, illegal rave goers etc

Yes mate. That said, some of the attitudes tend to change when the virus comes closer to home.

British exceptionalism at its finest. Rich and selfish. Rules are only for the little people.

He has clearly chosen to present the numbers to strengthen his argument but the numbers he has used are correct and from a reputable source I do not agree with his stance but to say that is dishonest

The numbers aren't really correct to back up the argument he's making though as they only cover deaths in hospital. So he's ignoring about 35k other deaths.

Which emphasises the original point that the 2 data sets are not comparable

Of course some of those rich who escaped will probably be back virtue signalling about others not following the rules now lol

I'm not really sure what the original point was that you were trying make anyway though. Would it matter if they were using different datasets? The second analysis still debunks the point being made the Paul Embery who has selectively used incomplete data and willfully misinterpreted it to minimise the scale of the tragedy people are living through.

Mark Rothko, my mate loves his work, i really can't work out why.

The point is a simple one you can't compare the 2 sets of data when cover different age ranges, 1 includes pre conditions and the other not and one is all settings and the other just hospitals that is my only point.

Some debunking of the "only old people die" bullshit.

nice summation though:

Paul Embery has written a book on how Labour has abandoned the working class. Looks an interesting read
