Where there's been no test my wife is putting frailty old age - even when people have died of respiratory illness and family members have had covid. The absence of corona on death certificate does not mean it's something else. I've also read the exact opposite -- that covid was put down, despite no test and little evidence. I don't know the answer for sure; no doubt there will be people mis-diagnosed either way. Also, it stands to reason there are many people dying (of eg heartattacks) who would in normal circumstances have been gone to hospitals. To ignore these studies suggests an unwillingness to see the negative consequences of scaring the population with draconian measures. The excess mortality rose very quickly and has come down since lockdown suggesting it's the virus not lockdown. Big assumption. You're quite right about the lack of NHS capacity, but still that doesn't mean these deaths are due to the virus (again I'd refer to those studies). Advocates of no lockdown are not calling for testing though because of course their argument largely relies on denial of severity rather than finding real solutions. Huh? I'm an advocate of no lockdown but testing and isolation of ill people seems sensible. On the other hand, it seems more accurate to say "Advocates of a lockdown largely rely on denial of severity of its consequences". Not as bad as first thought is a meaningless concept Well, for a start, we were told (including by many here) that we could expect 500,000 deaths from this. Do you believe that's accurate still? voices against lockdown were claimining it was a hoax at the outset Again, that painting of critics of a lockdown. Please quote me or any other poster here who has said this. SARS and MERS were eradicated. SARS2 won't be because our lives are worthless. Now you're doing what you often accuse others of: equating two virusses. If anyone tries to suggest corona is like the flu, you're the first to jump on them, yet here you're suggesting corona is just like SARS. |
