I would be interested to know who you are refering to by "...we...". First of all you will have to open up a new topic (you may call it conspiracy theory) as I will not write under the Corona Thread.
Pity. Simple enough questions Your refusal to answer those questions on a thread on which you have been gaily posting at some length tantalising us with a vast array of material you have read speaks volumes. i won't be asking again and certainly won't be wasting any time indulging you.

The average age patients die from coronavirus in Scotland is older than the age at which people pass away normally, stark figures show.

National Records of Scotland (NRS) data reveal the median age of a Covid-19 death north of the border is 81 for men and 85 for women.

By contrast, the life expectancy for a man in Scotland is 80.5 and females typically live to 84, according to the Office for National Statistics.

I'm ****ed out here on the west coast...

With a population of 1.2 million in greater Glasgow, life expectancy at birth is 71.6 years for men, nearly seven years below the national average of 78.2 years, and 78 years for women, over four years below the national average of 82.3.
 
Disgusting that Leeds did their open top bus parade last night. Selfish and thoughtless and a real chance people could die as a direct result.

Not long to go then Steelsy.....I trust you have one of these funeral savings plans in place....
 
Not just Leeds in open top bus. The fans celebrated outside elland road and left the area in more of a dump then it already and showed how much of a bonus they will be in the premiership by throwing bottles and injuring people. And Liverpool fans celebrating outside anfield……
can see more outbreaks in those areas......
 
Purely out of my own curiosity, I wonder if the ‘areas of intervention’ eg Luton, Leicester, Blackburn, Darwen and more, all have a significant Asian muslim population and if there could be some connection to the fact of having Friday prayers together.
Some are obvious but I’m not certain of others. As I say, just curious if there might be a connection.

That definitely has been a factor, together with generally more crowded housing and- very often - workplaces. The conditions in some of the Leicester clothing factories were very poor hence the issues with Boohoo
