SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND?

Oh yes Wally? Are you somewhat confused as to what "hospital admission with Covid" means?  I suggest you actually find out. Do you understand comorbidities and the nature of these on patient outcomes? The number admitted suffering from Covid alone is tiny, and hospitals are always on the brink of overload from about November to March every year. There are at least 50,000 deaths in the pipeline from undiagnosed and untreated other serious (fatal) diseases. You will note that almost no beds have been used in the fantastically expensive Nightingale hospitals, so there are something like 4,000 ventilated ICU beds available at all times. I imagine you watch the BBC propaganda or perhaps read the Guardian. Perhaps you would care to discuss why "lockdowns" do not have much effect but cause the collapse of society? Covid on a death certificate does not mean that, the logical meaning has been changed by LAW! There are 10's of thousands of volunteer people available to assist if necessary, most of these have simply been inundated with irrelevant paperwork and none used. I expect that there are one or two posting here. If your statement were true the average age of the population at death would have lowered significantly, it hasn't, it has moved down by a month or two depending on the "curve" (ONS data). It is still about 83. All those 40-60s you talk about would have had a quite significant effect. Don't forget that around 1600 people die every day on average, even with the Government definition Covid is still about number 23 in cause of death. Cancer, strokes and heart attacks are still way higher in the statistics.
