I think it makes a difference, 'died within 28 of a positive Covid test' is open to all sorts of conclusions, cancer, heart attack, stroke, aortic aneurysm , et al. Edit as I was typing as SW responded, so I fully agree with him.
The daily death figures given by the government include anyone who’s tested positive in the past month, the ONS figures include only those who have COVID as the prime cause of death on the death certificate, so accurately show COVID deaths.
given that 95% are symptom free when tested, I would guess much higher than 50% But there’s zero data on it, that’s the problem
Oh you do neeeeeedd to grieve youre soooo sensitive and empathic You have no idea what i or any other people do and don’t do on here. But carry on genralising and bullshitting and showing you sooooo care.
You’re right, we can only go off the evidence you present. It’s not a generalisation when you say ****ish things. Even when you’re in a minority of one you still keep going. It’s like you have no humility whatsoever.

Published today. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...pital-patients-governments-data-not-admitted/ The misuse of statistics has been one of the major criticisms levelled at politicians during the pandemic, with dubious figures and modelling often cited to justify draconian interventions. So it was reassuring to find out on Thursday that the head of the UK Statistics Authority was also concerned about the misrepresentation of data by the Government. Speaking at the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs committee, Sir David Norgrove told MPs that “we’ve intervened more during the pandemic and made more comments than in the years before”. “With statistics, it’s usually cock-up rather than conspiracy,” he added. “They are under pressure and they get themselves into a hole and we have to help dig them out.” Yet despite this, nothing seems to be changing. At a press conference from Downing Street on Wednesday evening, Dr Jenny Harries, the chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency, took the public through slides showing that there were currently 7,891 people in hospital with Covid in the UK. What she failed to mention is that this figure does not only include people admitted with Covid, but also those who test positive for coronavirus while in hospital for another condition. Hospitals were instructed to distinguish between the two groups earlier this year, but so far it has not filtered down into the official figures.
You must have lost the plot posting this sw or denying the existence of covid or just a selfish man who wants to go the pub every night I can tell all this from wht you post and wow I feel superior now.
Lol….that Sir David Norgrove, head of uk statistics is a right bullying twat, he needs to be more open to feelings & ignore the data. He’s put me reet off me Tofo tonight
Oh yeah, we’ve totally ignored the data, completely. Just made the numbers up. Out of thin air. It’s just flu, you know. I mean influenza.
