I have a friend, I dont see him often, tend to just catch up every few months, spoke to him the other day and he said his missus had left him about a year ago, the reason, she got sick and tired of his coronavirus conspiracies, I kid you not, it took all my will not to laugh in his face.
What an actual danger he is.

Good Lord.
Smacks of Hoddle's ridiculous remarks that disabilities were punishment for actions in a previous life. Unbelievable.

Can‘t really remember him heading the ball much either so that’s no defence for his beliefs

Not wanting to open this particular can of worms again, but…
WHO estimates c15m global covid deaths, in latest study using the excess death metric, around 3 times as much as officially recorded.
Interestingly the UK excess deaths is around 149k (for period 2020-2021 inclusive), which marries up pretty well with the official UK number recorded at that time (c152k at end of 2021).
Don’t want to have an argument about merits of under/over counting, and please god, not the “from Covid or with Covid” stuff again.
What was interesting to me, as a data analyst, and knowing how the arrived at methodology is so important, was the relative accuracy of our reporting, in comparison to other countries where their excess death numbers were higher than their official numbers by a factor of 5 or 10 in some cases.
BBC article here, which has links out to the WHO study and datasets.

I have no idea how we've managed to end up with lower excess deaths than Germany. I thought we were way out ahead.

Thought about detesting this bloke but Malibu and Coke is a quality drink, TBF. Excused.

Malibu - that's a blast from the past. I don't think I have seen it since working as a p/t barman while in college in the 80s. It was usually Malibu and Pineapple juice was the order. Never was asked for it with Coke
