So, all data collected by all sources for all countries in Europe must be suffering from the the same problems associated with time series...right?

Care to explain what they are?

We had this conversation just a few posts above - you're not interested.

I'm interested in why you are pushing misinformation.

You are referring to a single graph posted by me several pages back. Are you suggesting that the graphs I have just posted are equally bollocks form two independent and respected sources, with full links given.

You are using a single graph to obfuscate. Do you not realise how ridiculous you look?

17,000 people have died from the flu in England annually between 2014/15 and 2018/19 - with the yearly deaths varying widely from a high of 28,330 in 2014/15 to a low of 1,692 in 2018/19.

https://fullfact.org/health/coronavirus ... influenza/

This was due to an extremely mild influenza season last winter. Which, in turn, points to this year being another whopper for deaths as all of the "dry tinder" succumbs from last year. So, it is an extremely reasonable assumption to make that this year would have been up in the 30k range in any event.

Add in to that the massive fall in deaths by heart attack and stroke due to those otherwise statistically inevitable deaths being swapped over into the C19 column, this more than accounts for at least another 10k or so deaths attributed to the Covid19 column. Thus, the number of extra deaths would be marginal.

Which is EXACTLY what has been seen.

This year's TOTAL deaths are barely above the yearly average.

On the BBC News, NHS putting £10 million into establishing special clinics to treat people suffering from "Long Covid". Many of these people are previously fit young people who presented with mild Covid symptoms.

This is all you have left now isn't it. Parroting BBC propaganda because none of the actual on the record data even remotely supports your lock-down bollocks now. Well, that and impugning the personal characteristics of anyone who does not acquiesce to this bullshit.

Like I said, just like a Remainer.

Just how many patients are they expecting to treat for £10 million?

You have no idea how ridiculous you look. Less patient people have simply stopped posting replies, I think it's time I did the same. Naturally, you will assume this is proof that you have in fact destroyed all opposing arguments, whereas in truth I've become totally bored with reading all your second-hand conspiracy propanganda.

When you recover you will look back on this thread with some embarrassment, don't beat yourself up over it, it's been a stressful time for everyone.

I think that is the marketing budget for the lobbyist slush fund

Seems a bit ridiculous treating them for 'long covid' since "previously fit young people who presented with mild Covid symptoms" are the 99% of people they ignored, wouldn't test when they may have had it [if it exists], wouldn't take an antibody test for [I gave blood to a minor clown for unrelated testing in August - you still can't see a GP in the UK by the way, especially if you are male. The minor clown said she couldn't arrange a batflu antibody test even though my blood was already being sent to a haematology lab in a county hospital.]

LJ is right, this is all total shite

I wonder why it is some folk here cannot just agree to disagree about their ever so precious opinions. Really, far too many hours ranting in front of a screen is not good for anybodies mental health and seriously impedes the usefulness of this forum.

When it comes to the stripping away of democracy and civil liberties won with the blood, sweat and tear of my ancestors, "agreeing to disagree" is not not going to happen.

By that logic, the Palestinians, should just "agree to disagree" with the views and actions of the Israeli State. After all, their "precious opinions" are only going to be deleterious to the Palestinian's "mental health" and "seriously impedes" the "peace" process .... right?

You folks are funny.

I would think this is just for setup and equipment cost as the staff and accommodation would already be on the payroll and every day costs would come out of current budgets.

These were not won just by "your" particular ancestors ranting and raving in fro nt of a screen. You really should listen to yourself but that will not happen will it? you are so lacking in any self awareness whatsoever you really can't figure out what a ridiculous figure you cut and why everybody eventually concludes you are a pain on the butt. Try switching the computer off a bit more.
