Coronavirus seasonality: Is the spread likely to vary?. Also look at the Gompertz curve of it. We have seen massive seasonal fluctuations even in the UK. It was non existent in the summer. Even amongst those areas where they kept working and social contact.

Covid seems to be a bit worse than flu. But not massively so. Remember on some of these deaths (probably a lot of them for people over 70 plus) they would have been able to find both flu virus and covid virus in the bodies yet the death is recorded as covid death. Which is true enough but only...

Cheerio then. As I have consistently said I'm looking at the data and the data alone, I don't have an agenda beyond is the reaction consistent with the data. I am not equating it with a "cold" but of the family of coronavirus' one of which is the common cold (and can kill by the way). We have...

I'm sure for some people it does

More that recovering from any respiratory disease can be hard for an unlucky few. Nothing controversial about that

Entirely self inflicted. For one death per million per day.....

Long Covid is not a proven thing. Its just a fact that some people will take a long time to recover from a nasty viral infection. Jeez, do you have long flu and long pneumonia? No The rest of what you say adds to the hysteria. You think you can stop a virus?!!!

Oh dear...ever heard of "asymptomatic,"??? I have and we are making an excessive reaction to the asymptomatics.

Er, I think you were trolling me. I'm all about the data - the data isn't there to support the reaction. If we stopped testing people without actual symptoms and changed the pcr cycles to 30-35 then most of this nonsense wouldn't exist and we could just see things for what they really are

But if is not there and you are not showing symptoms how on earth can you call it a covid "Case". We are all constantly under attack from virus and we can find all sorts in us - we don't say we are ill when we don't feel ill and the tests show we don't have an illness

Oh no I would agree that when covid first came out that it definitely contributed to an awful lot of deaths. That is obvious I can't understand your middle sentence. What is my false premise? You need to write a bit more clearly and I will definitely respond with clarity to make my point

You cant get a false negative pcr

I'm actually having a bit of a problem following your train of thought. So I'm not sure I agree with you or not as I can't ascertain exactly what you mean.

No such thing as a false negative

Not at all. Not least because sometimes someone who is 87 may have a combination of flu/covid/ pneumonia/ cancer/ dementia etc within them yet if they test positive for Covid it goes down as a covid death regardless of these other issues. I'm saying Covid is very likely overstated. 24th...

Flu seasons ebb and flow. Also flu seasons depend totally on the climatic conditions and humidity of the area - a flue season in the tropics acts differently to northen europe. We have data that sometimes flu is bad and sometimes its not - the virus is the same though. In the UK as we come into...

In absolute terms no its not. Flu kills a lot more. Covid is the 24th most common cause of death is August 2020 in the UK.

Often when someone is very old they die. The final cause of death can be varied - pneumonia, flu etc because as the body starts to die/ slow down these things take a hold. Pneumonia used to known as "old mans friend". I would imagine a lot of Covid was put on death certificates before because...

Its mortality is slightly higher than flu at the moment and it is of course more virulent. Flu still appears to be the bigger killer by a vast majority and how you think you can reduce covid yet not reduce flu as if you think we know how to let one circulate and not the other leaves me...

Given that we have already had 604k cases of covid and probably many more unregistered the vast majority of whom had no or minor symptoms then overall I'd say the vast majority of the "survivors" have not found it severe at all. Simple fact Out of all this some didn't notice they had it Some...
