Deaths from Covid ALONE between Jan 1 2020 to 30/9/2021 only 17,371

Jesus christ how many times do I have to say this.
Deaths are above average now but you need to give time to see if the numbers in the same period going forward are down by the same amount. Only then will you know the real affect of the virus over and above the average.
It's like giving the result of a football match at half time!!
It's not about anything but simple mathematics.

Elsewhere people like TWGL1 are arguing that the impact of the lockdown could cause nearly 200k premature deaths over the medium to long term. Bit distortive for your simple mathematics if this comes to pass. All we may be left with is the Office of National Statistics calculating 150k excess deaths in the UK from April 2020 and a remarkable coincidence of 175k deaths of people with covid during the same period.

I'm not arguing against any of that but until you see the balance you cannot reach an answer. It wouldn't matter if the number was 10 1,000 or 1,000,000, it would still be the same need to see both sides to make a determination.

are you saying that it wouldn't matter if 1000000 people died if they would have died 2 years later anyway?

I thought someone would pick on that. you know very well I didn't mean that you're just being an arse.
it's not about people, the people are important. its just about the numbers and thenumber are random to illustrate that.
