I know the black line shows the actual (meaning corrected) numbers. And I showed you how they labeled that graph. Their label, not mine.Originally Posted by Letters
You're no fun
It helps us because if I've understood right it's the total number of deaths - it says "all cause". The black line is the actual numbers.
You get a spike every winter, but not like this.
This isn't just like a normal flu season and the people on the front line I've seen talking about this attest to that.
But, it's not the Spanish flu either. I don't think things should return to normality immediately, but neither do I think this level of restrictions to our life and to business is warranted.
The ONS data shows an unfiltered and significant spike in excess deaths accounted for by patients WITH COVID19 (I gave the link a couple of posts earlier). WITH, not FROM. The tests they are using have been reported to be up to 80% unreliable. An even larger number of excess deaths is unaccounted for, as was the case last week. These coincide with last weeks pleas by the government and media for patients with illnesses other than COVID19 to attend hospital for vital treatment. This after they previously begged people to stay away from hospitals and even GP surgeries. Senior figures in the health profession, government and particularly the media need to be held to account for this calamitous incompetence.
No significant excess in Northern Ireland, btw. Has anyone tried to find out why?
When did the lockdown begin? 23rd March. What is the incubation period of the virus? 1-14 days, with the majority of cases 5 days. Therefore, if these new figures are correct and they are at least in half attributable to COVID19, the lockdown has had little to no no effect. Correct? The UK's peak has not yet been reached, apparently. But we should have seen a huge drop in cases, if all the measures being taken are effective. They are starting to expose themselves with their own numbers and they can't classify enough deaths as COVID19 related to cover-up the real and developing toll from this crisis.
The lockdown was a very serious mistake. One that I was in favour of at the outset (though not total lockdown and jackboot coppers) so I'm not pointing fingers here, just making an observation based on data we have now but didn't have then. What I can't tolerate though and what I will most certainly point a finger at is Ferguson's latest hackery and fraud over at Imperial College. And Gates' fearmongering bullshit. Both should be in prison. And so should most of the senior figures from mainstream media who have deliberately made this as fearful and confusing as possible. Everything they have claimed thus far has turned out the be wrong. But rather than admit it, they have manipulated the data to force it to fit their earlier claims, and they can't even manage that now the lockdown has started to have such a dreadful non-COVID related cost.
And this is just the start. The lockdown will have compromised the immune systems of almost the entire population. Normal human contact has almost been eradicated. High intensity disinfection has been the norm for weeks. Any microbiologist or virologist will tell you where this is going to lead. Far more deaths than any coronavirus could have ever inflicted. Then there are the mental health issues, the alcoholism, the drop-off in activity and exercise, every bad outcome the health services have warned against for decades, all presenting in mass over a short timespan. Then the economic hit. The real peak that is yet to come. All caused by mass panic and instinctive authoritarianism, not a virus. And then heavily manipulated by those seeking to monetise the crisis. Why this should be viewed as a conspiracy theory is a mystery to me. We all saw Bush and Blair and the media lie their arses off about Iraq. It's not as if these types of people aren't evil enough to profit from the misery of others. They have done it many times before. But now it's a conspiracy theory to suggest they will do it again.
And for every story a doctor can tell about being over stretched, another will tell you he has nothing to do and is wandering an empty hospital. In fact doctors and staff in some regions are now being moved out of empty COVID wards and into the general wards because of the upsurge in patients there. Not all hospitals I suppose, maybe. But I was in probably the most COVID19 focused hospital in the country last week and I can tell you, I saw no abnormal activity there. The medical staff weren't even social distancing. Didn't see the whole hospital, maybe there was a furious crisis going in behind the closed doors of the COVID section. But I did see the staff emerging from those places and they weren't tumbling onto the ground exhausted. Rather they seems quite calm and unstressed. Their main complaint seemed to be they could no longer walk through the hospital to reach various other departments (and particularly the shops) but had to exit on to the street and walk the long way around. It was strange. If there was a crisis unfolding there then they did a very good job of concealing it.
Another bizarre exposure by the data is this "peak" business. Many nations, including several in Europe, simply haven't experienced a peak. Just a steady rate of cases. It seems to be the major economic powers in Europe and the US that have been hit hardest. No conclusions can be drawn from that yet, and I'm resisting the urge to theorise until I find the evidence. But very odd indeed.
This as the social media platforms censor everything that goes against the mainstream narrative. So we can't chat in pubs and if we post wrongthink online it gets taken down or "fact checked" by extremist left wing political organisations.
It's almost as if the state doesn't want its citizens communicating with each other. A bit like they do in China. That would be the same China that murdered and disappeared doctors who tried to warn everyone about this virus before the CCP allowed the movement of millions before declaring an emergency. The same CCP Bill Gates is carrying water for in the media today. The same China he runs his Microsoft slave labour operation out of. But the media doesn't have time to focus on that because they are too busy firing up RussiaGate III - Trump Colludes with China. Honestly, you couldn't invent this shit with the wildest imagination.
Historians are going to have a field day with this period. If Google doesn't delete it all first.
There's plenty going on here, behind the scenes, unreported by the "investigative" journalists in the legacy media. But isn't there always?

Any second now I'm going to start work. The hardest part is starting. Once you get going it's not quite as unbearable.
