It was where your audience took your post I suspect got you shut down.

Two days ago I could find rate of new cases, rate of infection and rate of death charts everywhere. Everywhere based per 100,000 or 1m is almost down to a 1.0 rate as predicted by Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel of Tel Aviv University for a 8 week life cycle of the SARS-CoV2 virus. This thing is almost over.

The next day Dr. Fauci was interviewed by the Senate and I was trying to reference those same sources and the rate of new cases, infection and deaths were no longer easy to find or in an easy format to contrast them to each other.

In the UK many were "outing" the yearly death figures for A & B Flu to show that these things occur from time to time and that world leaders were on some sort of trip induced by mass panic and electoral concerns.........… Some of my friends among them...………….  they have all gone quiet now...…..

Indeed if we look at the UK we have now some 33k+ registered COVID deaths..  This where a doctor has put COVID 19 as a contributory factor to cause of death.

But if we go to the UK ONS web site we see something else.... our total deaths per week (above the five year rolling average for the same period) adds up to a lot more than the 33k+ reported. Even given normal yearly variations...  more like 45k.

Look at the areas under those two curves....... clearly the overall additional "death rate" is 1 third higher than is being reported for COVID 19.  Our health service is not overloaded...we have a surfeit of ICU beds (now only 40% of our ICU capacity is being used) yet apparently we also have a massive increase in death rate not reported as linked to COVID 19 as well as that linked to the same.

This surfeit was being out down to COVID linked care home deaths for the elderly....but those figures have since been corrected and added to the COVID data ( a hike of some 8k in total)………. some of the surfeit is still down to mis reporting in care homes in the early months...….also the death rate in care homes has increased for non COVID reasons...…….. or at least for non directly related COVID reasons...……. The consensus is that the pandemic is having secondary death rate implications in the UK.
