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
View attachment 7235

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.

Is that from the Tate Modern?

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

Seen that looks good

My main takeaway was that Dr Pimenta shows up how disingenuous Embery is being with his statements.

 

[squirtyflower]

Entitled rich believe the rules are for other people? Fits my stereotype of rule breakers Dominic.

Kay Burley
Beth Rigby
Neil Ferguson, the author of Lockdown
Catherine Calderwood, Scottish Chief Medical Officer

Hundreds of UK tourists flee Covid quarantine in Swiss ski resort

About half of the 420 visitors ordered to self-isolate left Verbier in ‘cloak and dagger’ operation

www.theguardian.com

Probably dont fit the usual 'rulebreakers' stereotype!!!

Not at all surprised. We've been stuck in perpetual lockdown over the last nine months as a result of this. At the end of it all there'll be a report as to how and why we were all locked in our own homes and it will conclude it was the aviation/tourism industry.

At the risk of repeating myself my comment was and still is the data sets are not comparable nothing more nothing less

The authorities must know who they are , huge fines and confiscate passports , teach the selfish fuckers a lesson.

Stick them in prison for six months and they can go to the back of the queue for the vaccine with all their families. Actions have consequences
