We are testing ourselves into a box. Test the people who are ill. The people who are not ill are that - not ill. This is the first time we have started pretending that not unwell people are "diseased". Its ridiculous.

Fair enough. Some hospitals will have local spikes. But you also need to acknowledge many don't. As I say there were 30k excess deaths (non covid) which we didn't save last year. And the hospitals were not full of covid patients in jul-october.

No I just don't want to talk about my local hospital. But its about 300 deaths from covid from a 400k population if it helps. 0.07%. Thats my health board not my hospital - we have about 4 or 5 hospitals. I have no doubt excess deaths from non covid sources will be higher. And I have also have...

Given that the IFR curve looks very similar all over Europe (incl Sweden) then it appears unlikely that there would have been massive amounts of excess deaths if we hadn't locked down. Take away the care home **** up which was a mistake, take away excess deaths from non covid which arguably...

90% are over 65. A minute number are in their 30's and 40's. A small number in their 50's. Most likely these people will have been clinically vulnerable.

Where did I say it did? Where did I say countries were not doing PCR tests? Read my posts and then think about it and then write legibly please Strawman.

He is not advocating genocide. For goodness sake. Hippocratic oath - first do no harm. There is definitely an argument that the death of an 87 year old in a care home is not the same as the death of a 65 year old from a missed mammogram in my world. Possibly not in yours? I've already written...

No you have not disproved it. I told you asymptomatics do not drive pandemics and I am right. They do not and you tried to claim the asymptomatic spread is driving it and it isn't. So don't put words in my mouth thanks. Remember we are recording people who have died within 28 days of a covid...

In fact all we are doing is aggregating people in the same big 4 or 5 supermarkets. If you have the virus and are emitting it then you will give it to others. Peru went turbo on lockdown, no damn difference. Ireland, Spain ,France went hard early on and now it makes no difference. All over...

It is pointless testing asymptomatics. Lots of countries refuse to test for antibodies because they know it will tie them up in knots.

Look we employ 1 million people plus in the healthcare industry of course some are going to die from something. You cannot say that no healthcare workers will die ever. How many supermarket workers have died that can be traced to covid deaths? How many teachers? Its very very small and they kept...

That's ridiculous. Especially as there is no clear evidence that lockdowns have much effect. They did this is Peru and Spain/ France and the boat is still the same

They will show up to a degree. The fly in the ointment is when a 96 year old dementia patient dies with covid it somehow skews the covid figures. And when you are testing people daily in a hospital I think its astonishing people would come back as being negative to be honest. The excess deaths...

You should amend that to "after they test positive on a pcr test". Moving to a world where people who are not unwell are somehow "infected" has tied this country up in knots

Western Europe is dealing with it all pretty much the same. But it is now a endemic seasonal disease so why wouldn't they. I don't expect any politican to do better than any other - Aleksander Lukashenko maybe!

30k of the English excess deaths were "at home". So in some respects a lot of deaths were because hospital wasn't available to people for deaths that may have been preventable but don't expect any chat about that. The data on chances of people dying from covid has been out there for ages. Its...

Festool pts55 plus one guide rail for £429 or Makita sp6000j with two guide rails for £399 I think I want a riving knife so Festool appears to be winning. Can't find a Dewalt anywhere
