Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I agree about the masks, as it’s down to the individual and their own circumstances ( like yours )

But, there’s already scientists saying that this Winter the flu is potentially going to kill thousands and be worse than the virus, due to low immunity as a result of masks / SD, lockdowns etc.

It’s almost become like a industry, churning out horror stories, designed to keep on terrifying the living daylights out of the public.

This is untrue because the numbers are not lies.

Hospital figures - 16 deaths were announced today, the exact same total as yesterday and down 1 on last Thursday. 11 deaths were in English hospitals, again the exact same total as yesterday and down 5 on last week. The 7 day rolling average falls very slightly to 11.57

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 21 deaths were announced today, up 2 on both yesterday and last Thursday. The 7 day rolling average rises very slightly to 14.71

For the 60 day cut off, 24 deaths were announced today, down 3 on yesterday and the exact same total as last Thursday. The 7 day rolling average remains the same at 21.43

Thats mad. The population has had general immunity from flu for decades, cos our immune system knows it and deals with it. Man flu notwithstanding. They just give booster jabs to protect the age group at risk from the latest one.

I think it's a bit of a misquote: it suspects that flu will be worse than COVID this upcoming winter due to reduced immunity and a number of other factors.

With a population that has had mass immunisation against COVID, its likely that flu will cause more deaths due to a lower immunisation rate in general.*

A bad flu season can cause significant deaths, so any reduced immunity that will have been created through the circumstances could have an impact.

However, it's certainly not going to be worse than COVID in the general sense e.g. worse than the past eighteen months; still, it could be a bad flu season.

Yet, I hope it's not as I think we all need some optimism and the NHS certainly needs a breather, but I do know it's something they'll plan for as a contingency.

*It's around the 75% mark for over 65s, with the wider population much lower.

No social distancing or mask wearing. Disgusting indeed.

Actually, got a grip of something. Be it another women's arse other than his wife's. Won't post the pics as the The Scum seem to have the picture rights. Suffice to say, I saw the picture before I had my corn flakes, put me right off.
