Let me put it another way - There are 2k more deaths than normal for week 46. Do you think that there were more or less than 2k covid deaths in that week, if you agree that there were probably about 2k covid deaths in week 46 then the excess deaths will be down to covid because we didn't have it in week 46 of 2019. It really is that simple.
If you don't believe that there are any covid deaths any more then you need to ask why there are 2k more deaths than normal.
I'm struggling to understand why you both don't get such a basic principle of measuring excess deaths.
Because if you don't believe, you can then justify your position with regards to going back to normal.
Normal FFS. Because of the measures there will be no normal. You will be wishing for the Covid 2020 year as normal. The next decade of pain. Honestly some people don't really think before putting their foot in their mouth do they. So naïve and obviously dull.
