Again, you ignore the questions I ask about the lack of evidence to support your repeated claims that the people who have died would have died this year or shortly anyway.
Again, you post meaningless graphs to deflect attention from your mistaken assumptions.
It's impossible to reason with you if you continually obfuscate and attempt to divert attention.
There has been neither a second spike in hospitalisation
or deaths.
As usual, if you want to see what obfuscation looks like, take a look in the mirror. It's pathetic.
All of this barrage of fearmongering propaganda.... It's sent you a bit deranged hasn't it
Also, as for your hysterical reaction to my suggestion of people dying this year in any event, there are some rather obvious responses to make to that;
1) The people who died were, on average the very oldest among us, So old, in fact, that their average age at death (82.4) was higher than the national average for age at death (81.5), leading to the perverse statistic that someone who dies of covid19 has, on average, a longer life expectancy than someone who dies of anything other than Covid19. It is, therefore, an entirely reasonable assumption to make that such people are more likely, all other things being equal, to die this year than anybody else.
2) The above assumption is predictably corroborated the moment you take a look at the
total annual death rates for the last 5 years in the UK.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulation ... ndandwales
2015 - 529,655
2016 - 525,048
2017 - 533,253
2018 - 541,589
2019 - 530,841
2020 (thus far) - 453,803
From the above numbers is it plain to see that, whilst there is, indeed, a small but significant rise, thus far, in the death rate for this year, it does not particularly lie far outside the the normal range.
However, even to limited extent it does, given that the vast and overwhelming demographic of those dying of Covid 19 are the elderly and the
very elderly, we may still reasonably assume that even this relatively modest increase will be of people who were in, at most, the last two years of life. Though, this will not be confirmed until and unless we see a commensurate dip in the death rate next year due to the fact you cannot die twice.
So, in short, our country's economy has been reduced to a smoldering ruin and the liberties won with the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors have been stripped away in order to prevent the deaths of people, the vast majority of whose lives were drawing to a natural close sometime in the next 12 or so months and a minority of whose lives were due to naturally end sometime in the next 24 or so months.
