No, just been done to show how stupid your arguments are and how you try twisting figures to suit your agenda.

Agenda my arse. Go and count the number of people being slaughtered here in this country. I dont need an agenda.

I see 'spoons is planning on reopening in June.

YERRSSSSSSSSS

 

[RAFUH]

loads of people on twitter claiming family members have died with Coronavirus on their death certificate.. but they know they didn't have it.

What is going on with the stats??

Are these the same people Trump hears are saying things that fit his agenda?

The way this thread can cover a huge range of topics from bats in China to which supermarket aisle the dried lasagna is means you never quite what to expect when you open in!

It is a curiosity over here J. Like, are we measuring deaths using the same process as other countries?

Its anecdotal, but the process is that anyone who dies and had a hint of CV has died from CV. Obvs its a contributory factor, but we have no idea is other countries are doing similar. Germany in particular looks different for example.

The utter lack of dried lasagne sheets in UK supermarkets the last week or so has utterly perplexed me.

Any other pasta is freely available, but the one type you actually have to do sommet with, other than boil and lob a sauce on it, is a mystery. Its my fave as well. And I make a rocking home made one too.

Do they have a conveyor belt of so called expert numpties they keep wheeling out at these press conferences.

AllI could get from today was a lot of looking into and not much doing ........

 

[BrendanGOT]

This government still can't get the basic figures right really is pathetic...

No one can, its a complete balls up. From deaths being counted as Coronavirus that shouldn't to deaths being not being counted that should, in homes etc. That's worldwide btw.

They show a comparison, because if they didn’t then the media would do it for them. At least this was they have some control and consistency. I see they have dropped the Chinese figures. Personally I would also drop the German, Korean and USA figures, because they simply have no bearing on the U.K. there are a small group of countries with similar numbers which we can look at, gain comfort from or at least see why our numbers will go up or down versus this particular group. What numbers would you put up that would make you feel happier or more informed ?....

I would have rather they had not started this game of look at our deaths its not as bad as Italy... However, this Tory Government could not help themselves, willy waving about death rates. A direct consequence cynical ideology they subscribe too, as I said its too late for supporters to be even the slightest contrite.

I had this conversation with a relative on the phone earlier , the excitement of lockdown , I can’t explain it either mate . I’ve Eaten my freezer lasagne so was forced to buy a M&S one .

Despite previous bereavements I suppose you could say today is when covid really hit home .

One way of getting round those possible reporting category differences is the “all causes” mortality figures, which at least capture the overall impact on the nation including things like more heart attacks at home as people avoid ER out of fear or less road deaths due to lockdowns.

U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll Is Far Higher Than Reported, C.D.C. Data Suggests (Published 2020)

In seven hard-hit states, total deaths are nearly 50 percent higher than normal, according to new C.D.C. statistics, suggesting that the virus has killed far more people than the number in official counts.

www.nytimes.com

Measures of total deaths are also commonly used in countries without detailed accounting of causes of death. Right now, they are the most useful tool, several epidemiologists said, for measuring the impact of coronavirus in the United States, too.

“It gives you an overall sense of how big things are,” said Samuel Clark, a professor of sociology at Ohio State University, whose work is in demography and epidemiology. “For now, you can basically attribute the excess mortality to Covid-19. But you also grab all the things that are not Covid at all, but are probably created by the situation.”

You must watch a different #10 briefing that I do.

Dont see any of that. Not even a little bit.

I see a plan that has no time span, that seems to be working, against a well defined reason why said plan is being followed.

Maybe our UK government should have endeavoured on comparing death rates, oh well reap what you sow.

Go back and check the COVID19 updates, its all there. I'm confident and stand by it.
