No doubt ErLolz will be along in a moment to post the hard, factual indisputable numbers... But in case he is having an embarrassing Bordo moment... :wink:

WEEKLY DEATHS CONSISTENTLY BELOW THE FIVE YEAR AVERAGE

New figures from the ONS this morning reveal that the number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending 26 June was 360 fewer than the previous week. Significantly it’s also 314 fewer than the five-year average number of deaths for this week of the year…

Fewer people dying than normal may indicate that Covid merely accelerated deaths that would have taken place later in the year. If this is sustained the year’s ‘excess death’ total will decline from the number it has reached already. Good news.

Local Government Minister Simon Clarke confirmed yesterday that even the Black Lives Matter mass gatherings did not result in an increase in overall new cases or the number of fatalities, telling TalkRADIO’s Dan Wooton that “these gatherings happened and there hasn’t been a major resultant spike detectable in the figures.” Perhaps everyone can calm down about the revellers in SoHo on Saturday now…


Okay...? :wink:


And your point is what, CG? :?


I'm guessing you realise what the point is Kiks... But I can wait another couple of weeks to prove you wrong... :wink:

Here’s some more fool’s sophistry that you’ll appreciate Guido… :)

An interesting letter to the Orlando Medical News from John T. Littell, M.D.

Interesting point of view. :shock:

Does that then mean we should be depressed that lower new cases and lower death rates accomplished with the lockdown in Europe was a mistake? :roll:

Funny I don’t see the Americans, Brazilians and Indians celebrating their new cases skyrocketing lately. :wink:

Maybe this is what Trump was blabbering few days ago that high new cases was a “positive”thing. :D

Recent studies seems to suggest it is virtually impossible to have a herd immunity because antibodies against the virus only lasts a week or two in the body, which will make it very difficult to find a vaccine for Covid-19. Some studies also make the claim that Covid-19 may well be also airborne.

Maybe we know very little on Covid-19 still, which precaution may well be the wise option versus being “promiscuous” with this virus.
