UK Covid death toll

[billybassett]

You can't just look at excess deaths and think that they correlate exactly on a year to year basis for the location and then conclude something, that is just mad

The point I was making is that looking at excess deaths alone is not sensible given the changing shape of what's happening re deaths. For example much fewer deaths to other respiratory or influenza, increased deaths in strokes and heart attacks.

But then again if you're working from a pov that says locking down people to save them from an endemic virus is sensible then there's literally no hope.
